About this book

Chronic vulvar pain, or ‘vulvodynia’, is a common problem that can have a considerable impact on the wellbeing of patients. Despite being seen routinely in everyday clinical practice, it remains a neglected disorder that may take many years to diagnose.

This book eases the way for physicians, including General Practitioners and Gynecologists, who are motivated to improve the lives of women suffering from vulvodynia.

Les algies périnéales constituent un ensemble très complexe d'évaluation difficile. Qu'elles soient d'origine gynécologique, digestive, urinaire, neurologique, un diagnostic médical, spécialisé est un préalable indispensable. L'examen clinique, l'imagerie, les explorations neuro-physiologiques permettent d'orienter les différents traitements de cette symptomatologie douloureuse.

This unique book bridges the gap between evidence-based research and clinical practice. Edited by Kari Bo who has done pioneering research in this area, each chapter focuses on the evidence, from basic studies (theories or rationales for the treatment) and RCTs (appraisal of effectiveness), to the implications of these for clinical practice, and finally in recommendations on how to start, continue and progress treatment.
