Pain is the most notable symptom of<unk> , and can be characterized as a burning, stinging, irritation or sharp pain that occurs in the vulva and entrance to the vagina. It may be constant, intermittent or happen only when the vulva is touched, but<unk>  usually has a long duration. Symptoms may occur in one place or the entire vulvar area. It can occur during or after sexual activity, when tampons are inserted, or when prolonged pressure is applied to the vulva, such as during sitting, bike riding, or horseback riding. Some cases of<unk>  are idiopathic where no particular cause can be determined. Vulvar vestibulitis Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (VVS), vestibulodynia, or simply vulvar vestibulitis or "localized (to the vestibule) provoked<unk> " refers to pain localized to the vestibular region. It tends to be associated with a highly localized "burning" or "cutting" type of pain. The pain of<unk>  may extend into the clitoris; this is referred to as clitorodynia. Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome is the most common subtype of<unk>  that affects premenopausal women – the syndrome has been cited as affecting about 10%–15% of women seeking gynecological care.
