The vulvar vestibule is the area at the entrance of the vagina, bordered by the inner labia. This is where the vaginal opening, the urethral opening, and the ducts of several small lubricating glands are located. Rich in nerve endings, this region is sensitive to touch and plays a role in lubrication and in passage during penetration. When localized pain appears precisely in this area, especially on contact or insertion, it is called vestibulodynia. Knowing this area helps you better describe any uncomfortable sensations and talk about them more easily.

Vestibule vulvaire
Le vestibule vulvaire est la zone situĂ©e Ă l’entrĂ©e du vagin, dĂ©limitĂ©e par les petites lĂšvres. C’est lĂ que s’ouvrent l’orifice vaginal, le mĂ©at urinaire et les conduits de plusieurs petites glandes lubrifiantes. Cette rĂ©gion, riche en terminaisons nerveuses, est sensible au toucher et joue un rĂŽle dans la lubrification et le passage lors de la pĂ©nĂ©tration. Lorsqu’une douleur localisĂ©e apparaĂźt prĂ©cisĂ©ment Ă ce niveau, notamment au contact ou Ă l’insertion, on parle de vestibulodynie. ConnaĂźtre cette zone aide Ă mieux dĂ©crire d’Ă©ventuelles sensations inconfortables et Ă en parler plus facilement.
