Conditions that affect vulvar health can also affect other aspects of a patient’s health – physical, emotional, sexual, and social. We believe that treatment from a multidisciplinary perspective is critical to improving the lives of affected individuals.
In addition to clinical care, including medical and surgical treatments, we commonly recommend educational interventions, pelvic floor physiotherapy, psychological support, and sexual therapy.
