Vulvar disease
Vulvar disease refers to a broad range of conditions that can affect the vulva, the external part of the female genitalia. These conditions can be categorized into infectious, inflammatory, neoplastic, and traumatic diseases.
Types of Vulvar Diseases
Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases of the vulva can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. Common examples include vulvovaginal candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, and sexually transmitted infections such as herpes simplex virus and human papillomavirus.
Inflammatory Diseases
Inflammatory diseases of the vulva, also known as vulvitis, can be caused by allergic reactions, irritants, or autoimmune conditions. Examples include lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, and contact dermatitis.
Neoplastic Diseases
Neoplastic diseases of the vulva involve the abnormal growth of cells, which can be benign or malignant. Examples include vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia and vulvar cancer.
Traumatic Diseases
Traumatic diseases of the vulva can result from physical injury, sexual abuse, or certain medical procedures. Examples include vulvar hematoma and vulvar lacerations.
Diagnosis and Treatment
The diagnosis of vulvar diseases often involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Treatment depends on the specific disease and may include medications, lifestyle changes, or surgery.
