It sounds like 'vulvodynia', which is persistent, unexplained pain in the vulva.

I suggest you see your doctor or visit your local genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic if you have persistent vulval pain. If it is vulvodynia, it is unlikely to get better on its own and some of the treatments may be only available on prescription. There are also a number of other causes of vulval pain that need to be ruled out.

There are some recommendations you could try which might help relieve the symptoms:

• Wear 100% cotton underwear (if any) and loose-fitting skirts or trousers.
• Avoid scented hygiene products such as feminine wipes, bubble bath, and soap
• Apply cool gel packs to your vulva to soothe the pain.
• Use petroleum jelly before swimming to provide protection from chlorine.
• Try not to avoid touching your vulva completely, as this may make your vulva more sensitive
• Try to reduce stress, as it can increase the pain of vulvodynia
• For pain when sitting, using a doughnut-shaped cushion can help.

If your pain is more constant, applying lidocaine regularly throughout the day may help. Lidocaine can also be used overnight. (Put some on a cotton make-up removal pad and put it onto the sore area so it's held in place by your underwear).

Tubes of 5% lidocaine gel, cream or ointment can be bought over the counter from a pharmacy, although it's a good idea to get a doctor's advice before trying it.
