Vulvar disease encompasses a range of conditions that affect the external female genital area, causing discomfort and irritation and often impacting quality of life. These conditions may include lichen sclerosus, vulvodynia, dermatitis, and infections. Symptoms can range from persistent itching and burning to pain during daily activities or intercourse. Left untreated, some vulvar diseases can lead to more severe complications, such as scarring or chronic inflammation. However, patients can find relief and achieve improved comfort and confidence in their daily lives with proper care and treatment.
