Several conditions can affect the vulva, including:
Vulvovaginitis: Inflammation or infection of the vulva and vagina, often caused by bacteria, yeast, or other irritants. Lichen Sclerosus: A chronic condition characterized by white patches and thinning of the vulvar skin, which can cause itching and discomfort. Bartholin's cysts: Blockage of the Bartholin glands, leading to the formation of cysts that can become infected. Vulvodynia: Chronic vulvar pain without an identifiable cause, often leading to discomfort and difficulties with sexual activity.
