[Vulvar Pain].

Vulvar Pain Abstract. During their lifetime, many women experience vulvar and / or vaginal pain. The reasons of those pains or discomforts can be multiple and sometimes hard to identify and therefore difficult to treat. Besides organic causes such as infections, inflammations, changes after operations and others we can find complex conditions such as vulvodynia and dyspareunia. Vulvodynia is a vulvar pain of at least 3 months duration without clear identifiable cause, which may have potential associated factors. It is important for a successful therapy to identify these factors. It will need an individual access to every woman and there is no single therapy that fits all women. Dyspareunia is also a less common but also complex problem that needs accurate approach and therapy. With this article, we would like to give you insights in these disorders in a practical way in order to make them find their place in our daily practice.
