For more than 30 years, the National Vulvodynia Association (NVA), a nonprofit organization, has been dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for women with chronic vulvar pain. Subtypes of vulvodynia include provoked vestibulodynia, generalized vulvodynia and clitorodynia. Many sufferers report vulvar burning and painful sexual intercourse. If you are a woman in pain, her concerned partner, or a health care provider who treats vulvodynia, the NVA - with our expert medical board - can assist you. Hundreds of women each year thank us for our incomparable educational materials and support services. Let us help you too.
