Vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (VVS) is a diverse, multifactorial phenomenon. Its precise etiology is unknown.
To define the association between oral contraceptive (OC) estrogen dosage and VVS. Methods. Women diagnosed as having VVS participated in the study.
Data on type and usage of oral contraceptive pills (OC) were obtained by a questionnaire, and they were compared for the data on OC usage in the general population.
Available commercial data on Israeli women taking OC showed that 51% of them use low-dose estrogen (</=20 microg) OC and 49% use higher-dose estrogen (30-35 microg) OC. Of the 132 women in the study, 86 (65%) used OC: 68 (79%) used low-dose estrogen OC (P < 0.002 compared to the general population), while only 18 (21%) used high-dose estrogen OC (P < 0.002 compared to the general population).
Significantly more patients who are treated in our clinic for VVS use low-dose estrogen than those who use high-dose estrogen OC.

确定口服避孕药(OC)雌激素剂量与VVS之间的关联。方法:诊断为患有VVS的女性参与该研究。
通过问卷调查获取口服避孕药(OC)的类型和使用数据,并将其与普通人群中OC的使用数据进行比较。
以色列服用OC的女性的现有商业数据显示,其中51%使用低剂量雌激素(≤20微克)OC,49%使用高剂量雌激素(30 - 35微克)OC。在该研究的132名女性中,86名(65%)使用OC:68名(79%)使用低剂量雌激素OC(与普通人群相比,P < 0.002),而只有18名(21%)使用高剂量雌激素OC(与普通人群相比,P < 0.002)。
在我们诊所接受VVS治疗的患者中,使用低剂量雌激素的患者明显多于使用高剂量雌激素OC的患者。
