Vulvodynia in Arkansas: a survey of Arkansas gynecologists' practice experience and management of vulvar pain

Amy M Phillips et al. J Ark Med Soc. 2013 Mar.

Abstract

The objective of this survey was to determine the level of experience OB/GYN (Obstetrics & Gynecology) physicians in the state of Arkansas have in seeing and managing patients with vulvar pain, commonly known as vulvodynia. The 8 question, anonymous survey was mailed to Arkansas OB/GYN physicians. The survey assessed the experience of the providers, the age range of their patients, and whether or not they treat and/or refer. Thirty of 182 surveys were returned for a rate of 16.4%. The survey revealed that physicians are moderately comfortable treating vulvodynia within their practice and refer mostly for treatment failure.
