Approximately 10% of women using systemic hormonal contraception may experience vestibulodynia.

“the work of some of my colleagues in this area who do like sexual pain and vestibular DNA work say it's somewhere around 10 percent”

“with combined contraception it's probably most noted in the research is that a small percentage of women get that high level of estrogen but the Volvo vaginal mucosa doesn't recognize it right and you can develop a vestibular Denia of vestibulitis that particularly the that the vestibules that tissue around the entrance to the vagina not so much inside the vagina but that surrounding tissue called the vestibule is very sensitive to the drop in these the endogenous estradiol and the synthetic estrogens sometimes don't do their trick and they can develop a vestibular Denia meaning pain and dryness and almost look like a postmenopausal woman when it comes to that”
