Abstract:
Women suffering from chronic vulvar pain seek help in the healthcare system on numerous occasions. The most common type is provoked localized vulvodynia (PVD) in which the pain has been persistent for more than three months without identifiable cause. The aetiology of PVD is multifactorial and the diagnosis is based upon medical history and gynaecological assessment including a bio-psycho-social evaluation. Danish and international guidelines point to the advantages of a multidisciplinary approach, where physical, psycho-sexual assessment is integrated in a multidisciplinary treatment programme as summarized in this review.
