Vulvar vestibulitis is a condition which causes redness and pain of the vestibule. Vestibulitis is an inflammation of this skin and the mucous secreting glands found in the skin. Vulvar vestibulitis may include all the area around the opening of the vagina but is normally seen in the lower part of the vaginal opening.
* Severe pain with pressure (for example: biking, exercise, tight fitting clothes ). * Vaginal entry such as tampon use or intercourse. * Burning, stinging, irritation, or raw sensation within the vestibular area. * Vestibular redness * The urge to urinate frequently or suddenly.
-cribbed from one of my bookmarks. Basically the "entry area" of the vagina is angry and doesn't play well with others. "Keep Out" sign and everything. hehe.
