摘要
Physicians often feel challenged in the diagnosis and management of vulvar diseases and their effects on psychosexual health. Vulvar dermatoses must be considered in the differential diagnosis of women experiencing female sexual dysfunction or vulvovaginal pain. This review will focus on the diagnosis and treatment of common vulvar dermatoses, including vulvar contact dermatitis, lichen simplex chronicus, vulvar psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, and vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia. The impact of these disorders on sexual well-being will be emphasized. A detailed history and physical examination, backed by confident knowledge of vulvar dermatoses, will aid in diagnosis and management of these diseases. Current gold-standard treatments will be discussed as well as innovative therapeutic approaches currently being developed. With increased clinician awareness and further research, vulvar dermatoses and resulting sexual dysfunction can be appropriately managed. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
