The role of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis and comorbidities in the etiology of vestibulodynia: data from the Vu-Net Study
J Gynecol Women’s Health 22(3). doi: 10.19080/JGWH.2021.22.556087
Women with provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) are more likely to report a history of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) and recurrent VVC (RVVC). This observational Italian study was undertaken to analyze how many women with PVD have an RVVC as a leading trigger and to describe predisposing factors...
