Abstract

Vulvar pain is an enigma. Its etiology, pathophysiology, and treatment have not yet been elucidated. The most perplexing presentation is pain during intercourse, sometimes prevents the possibility to have intercourse. Around the enigma of vulvar pain, myths about its causes and treatments emerged. This chapter breaks these myths. The 2015 consensus terminology has changed the management paradigm of vulvar pain: now evaluation should be made according to the associated factor.
