Rationale 1: Abstaining from intercourse until the vulva are healed is helpful, but long-term abstinence is not required.
Rationale 2: Use of deodorized and heavily scented products that come in contact with the vulva (toilet paper, soap, bubble bath, pads and tampons, etc.) can cause the inflammation.
