Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This much needed book covers a field - genital/vulvar pain - that has long been neglected and to which many taboos and stigmas are still attached. ... While this book is aimed at physicians, there are many patients who will also find it useful and easy to read. ... The book discusses the different types of vulvar pain and its pathophysiology, how to make a diagnosis of vulvodynia and its comorbidities and how to treat it." (International Painful Bladder Foundation, October, 2011)

"This small volume (only 87 pages) will be very welcome to all involved in this often neglected field. ... There is an interesting discussion on names and definitions here, with the authors explaining that until now vulvodynia has been used to describe unexplained vulvar pain. ... The book also addresses vulvodynia and dyspareunia, postpartum dyspareunia and vulvodynia, evaluation of vulvar pain, pathophysiology, how to make a comprehensive diagnosis of vulvodynia andits comorbidities and how to treat."
