title: The management of vulval pain syndromes.
abstract: Vulval problems are common in gynaecological practice. Pain syndromes of the vulva should be considered once infection and dermatological causes of vulval symptoms have been excluded. This article covers vulval vestibulitis and dysaesthetic vulvodynia, the two subgroups of vulval pain syndromes.
