Vulvar Disorders
Vulvar disorders refer to a range of conditions affecting the vulva, the external part of the female genitalia. Common issues include vulvodynia, which is chronic pain, and vulvar dermatitis, an inflammation often caused by irritants or allergens. Symptoms may include itching, burning, or discomfort, and can significantly impact quality of life.
Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and may require additional tests to rule out infections or other conditions. Treatment options vary based on the specific disorder and may include topical medications, lifestyle changes, or counseling. Early intervention is important for effective management and relief of symptoms.
