Questions: 15 · 10 minutes

I have not had vulvar pain or aching.
I had mild, short-lived discomfort after a specific activity, and it settled.
Pain returns, lasts, or occurs during ordinary movement or sitting.

Symptoms prevent normal activities, repeatedly wake me, or are becoming difficult to tolerate.
7. During the past several weeks, which pattern best describes vulvar itching?
I have not experienced vulvar itching.
Itching was brief, had an obvious trigger, and stopped after the trigger was removed.
Itching keeps returning or has lasted despite gentle skin care.

The swelling is rapidly enlarging, hard, fixed, very painful, or accompanied by significant vulvar changes.
14. Which best describes any fluid, crusting, or oozing from a vulvar sore or skin area?
I have not noticed fluid, crusting, or oozing from the vulvar skin.
A small amount followed a clear surface irritation and resolved as it healed.
The same area repeatedly crusts, weeps, or does not fully heal.
