The chronic vulvar pain that characterizes the disorder is typically associated with severe burning, dyspareunia (pain during sexual intercourse) and redness; only rarely, it is accompanied by other macroscopically observable lesions.
Although it is a frequently encountered disease (affects about 12-15% of women), vulvodynia can be diagnosed late, as well as not being treated for years, because it is underestimated (note: it is considered an "invisible" disease) and perceived as difficult to deal with. It is no coincidence that for a long time vulvodynia has been classified as "psychosomatic" or, even, "psychogenic": in reality, this interpretation is obsolete, since it is a disease with solid biological foundations that fall into the "gynecological field, which can be managed effectively with an adequate therapeutic protocol.
