An estimated 10 to 28 percent of all women suffer from vulvodynia in the course of their lives; lichen sclerosus affects around 1.7 percent of the population and is up to 15 times more common than previously diagnosed. Nevertheless, it takes an average of four to seven years for a correct diagnosis to be made. The reason: the overlap between inflammatory dermatoses, functional pain syndromes and oncological precursors requires a systematic clinical assessment, which is often lacking in routine care. The new<em> S3 guideline on lichen sclerosus<\/em> and a growing body of evidence on the multimodal treatment of vulvodynia offer reliable guidance for the first time.    <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"pmpro\"><div class=\"pmpro_card pmpro_content_message\"><div class=\"pmpro_card_content\">Dieser Inhalt ist nur f\u00fcr Benutzer der Gruppe: Medizinische Fachperson zug\u00e4nglich <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/my-account\/packages\/\">Jetzt beitreten<\/a><\/div><div class=\"pmpro_card_actions pmpro_font-medium\">Already a member? <a href=\"https:\/\/medizinonline.com\/en\/log-in\/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmedizinonline.com%2Fen%2Fvulvar-diseases-and-vulvodynia%2F\">Log in here<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vulvar pain, itching and burning are common complaints &#8211; and often misunderstood.
