Dyspareunia and vulvodynia are genital pain disorders that have devastating effects on women's quality of life. These disorders occur with high prevalence and place a significant financial burden on women and the health care system. Many women do not report genital pain, and most providers do not inquire about this type of pain. As a result, women also experience social isolation. Numerous treatments are thought to improve quality of life and decrease pain; however, more studies are needed. This review aims to provide an overview of clinical evaluation methods and to summarize treatment options for women suffering from dyspareunia and vulvodynia.
性交疼痛和外阴痛是对女性生活质量有毁灭性影响的生殖器疼痛疾病。这些疾病患病率很高，给女性和医疗保健系统带来了巨大的经济负担。许多女性不报告生殖器疼痛，而且大多数医疗服务提供者也不询问这类疼痛情况。因此，女性还会经历社会孤立。许多治疗方法被认为可以改善生活质量并减轻疼痛；然而，还需要更多的研究。这篇综述旨在概述临床评估方法，并总结性交疼痛和外阴痛女性的治疗选择。
