Vulvovaginal Disorder
Vulvovaginal Disease

Presentation

For each of these conditions, the book presents information on its background, microbiology, immunology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. [books.google.com]

The presentations cover basics of therapy, dermatoses, vaginitis, vulvodynia and vaginal dryness and dyspareunia as well as a review of cases (presentation, diagnosis, and management). [ifcpc2017.com]

In addition, more than one type of vaginitis may be present at the same time, with or without symptoms being present. What causes vaginitis? Bacteria, yeast, viruses, and chemicals in creams, sprays, or even clothing can cause vaginitis. [columbiadoctors.org]

The method of the present invention may also be used to monitor the treatment of vulvovaginal disorders. [google.com]

Ledger and Witken present readers with the second edition of their comprehensive examination of the microbiology of the vagina, vaginal immunology, and vulvovaginal disease in its many forms. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

[…] patients who are unable to use other treatments. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Prognosis

Prognosis and outcome While topical steroid therapy is clearly beneficial in terms of symptom control, there is little evidence that its long-term use or optimal control of symptoms reduces the risk of malignancy. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Prognosis [ 2 ] The natural history of this disorder is not clear. There is a high placebo effect in trials, suggesting high rates of spontaneous improvement in symptoms. Many treatment options have shown good success rates. [patient.info]

Etiology

It is of unknown etiology and may have no visible vulvar changes. In its more intense and chronic form, it can be totally disabling. [bfe.org]

While many theories have been proposed, the etiology of this condition remains unknown. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The difference in clinical history suggests that primary and secondary vestibulodynia may have separate etiologies. [issm.info]

There is rarely a single identifiable cause and, despite the fact it is most likely to occur in women of reproductive age, it is estimated that only 30% of etiologies attributed to the development of chronic pelvic pain are gynecologic. [med.unc.edu]

Diagnosis of Vulvovaginal Disease Your doctor will take a detailed history in order to determine the exact etiology of the problem. [specializedwomenshealth.com]

Pathophysiology

At that time, little was known about the pathophysiological mechanisms that cause vulvodynia and treatment options were limited. [pelvicpainrehab.com]

As the diagnosis of vestibulodynia is derived from signs and symptoms, not from a defined pathophysiology, it is likely that there are multiple etiologies for this disorder. [issm.info]

[…] by an alkaline vaginal discharge may lead to chronic irritation and inflammation Other - Some authors have associated vulvar vestibulitis with a history of sexual abuse, elective abortions, severe marital conflicts, depression, and anxiety Neurologic pathophysiology [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention

Removing underwear at bedtime may also help prevent vulvovaginitis. Proper cleansing is important and may help prevent irritation. This is especially true if the infection is bacterial. [healthline.com]

In this situation, early identification may be possible, and early management may prevent the development of vulvovaginal adhesions and associated subsequent complications. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

For each of these conditions, the book presents information on its background, microbiology, immunology, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. [books.google.com]

Prevention Normally, your vagina has a healthy balance of yeast and bacteria, but certain factors can throw that balance off. [verywellhealth.com]
