To compare the incidence of sexual and/or physical abuse in women with vulvodynia (chronic, burning vulvar pain in the absence of clear medical findings) as compared to women with chronic vulvar symptoms due to specific, objective vulvar disease and with women from a general dermatology practice.
An invitation to participate in this questionnaire study was sent to 300 women over 18 years of age from a vulvo-vaginal clinic and 280 women from a general dermatology practice. These questionnaires asked for basic demographic information as well as information on childhood sexual experiences and physical abuse.
Questionnaires from 89 patients with vulvodynia, 65 patients with chronic vulvar symptoms due to specific, objective vulvar disease and 166 patients from a general dermatology practice were examined. There were no differences as to the incidence of childhood sexual or physical abuse between patients with vulvodynia and either those with general dermatology complaints or those with chronic vulvar symptoms due to objective disease.
There is no evidence from these data that women with vulvodynia experience a higher incidence of sexual or physical abuse during childhood as compared to women in a general dermatology office or women with chronic vulvar symptoms from specific, observable pathology.
比较外阴痛（慢性、无明显医学发现的灼痛性外阴疼痛）女性与因特定客观外阴疾病导致慢性外阴症状的女性以及普通皮肤科门诊女性的性虐待和/或身体虐待发生率。
向一家外阴阴道诊所的300名18岁以上女性和一家普通皮肤科门诊的280名女性发出参与这项问卷调查研究的邀请。这些问卷询问了基本人口统计学信息以及童年性经历和身体虐待信息。
检查了89名外阴痛患者、65名因特定客观外阴疾病导致慢性外阴症状的患者以及166名普通皮肤科门诊患者的问卷。外阴痛患者与普通皮肤科疾病患者或因客观疾病导致慢性外阴症状的患者在童年性虐待或身体虐待发生率方面没有差异。
这些数据没有证据表明，与普通皮肤科门诊女性或因特定可观察病理导致慢性外阴症状的女性相比, 外阴痛女性在童年遭受性虐待或身体虐待的发生率更高。
