Psychiatric morbidity in women attending a clinic for vulval problems--is there a higher rate in vulvodynia?
A General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) was completed by 55 women attending a clinic for vulval problems in central London. The GHQ-caseness rate was 40% from which the psychiatric morbidity in the sample was estimated to be 32%. The level of psychiatric morbidity in 10 women with a diagnosis of vulvodynia was similar to that of 41 women with other vulval diagnoses.
