Vulvitis is inflammation of the vulva, the external area of the female genitals. It can cause local discomfort and is usually temporary, although at times it is related to other conditions that are worth identifying.
Common symptoms: Redness, burning, itching, swelling, or tenderness in the area.
Common causes: Irritation from hygiene products, tight clothing, infections, allergies, or changes in the skin.
When to seek care? If the discomfort persists, returns frequently, or is accompanied by unusual discharge or pain, a review is worthwhile.
Which specialist assesses it? The gynecologist is the one who evaluates this condition; the general practitioner can guide the first contact. If you have these symptoms, the recommended course is to discuss them with a professional to learn their origin.
