Brief Answer:
Removal of affected tissue and skin

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing back.

Surgery would be the last resort and it includes removal of the affected tissue and skin i.e., vestibulectomy for local vulvodynia and vulvar vestibulitis when pain can be pinpointed to localized areas like hymeneal ring.

Using cold compresses, sitz baths, application of lubricants and local antihistamines and avoiding hot water bath, rough scrubbing, tight fitting undergarments are some measures to lessen the discomfort.
