Dr. Brian Nguyen answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Underdiagnosed: vulvodynia is a under-diagnosed cause of vaginal pain, particularly at the entrance to the vagina. it can severely affect a woman's sexual function and is somewhat difficult to treat, but if combined with physical therapy and a gynecological specialist, it can be treated
