The vulvar vestibule is the main location of genital tenderness, primarily responsible for burning/pain and entry dyspareunia because of its capacity to develop an excess of nociceptors upon sexual hormone deprivation. Our study indicated that VeTH can be a reproducible tool for the morphological classification of vestibular trophism and bears a significant correlation with the severity of the symptoms.
