Vulvar cysts
Vulvodynia means painful vulva. The vulva is the external female genitals, including the clitoris and labia. It includes the mound of tissues over the pelvic bone that becomes covered with hair at puberty.
Vulval varicosities disappear almost instantaneously with the delivery of the baby and it is unlikely you will ever get them again.
