Abstract
- Vulvodynia affects at least 6% of women, and can be found at any age and in all ethnic groups.
- The diagnosis is one of exclusion but is very often missed.
- Women with vulvodynia are frequently misdiagnosed as having vaginismus.
- Failure to make the diagnosis often leads to irrelevant or deleterious examinations and treatments.
