Overview of most common diseases of vulvovaginal region

Abstract

Vulvar dermatosis is an inflammatory condition that manifests itself in a variety of symptoms that cause severe discomfort to a woman and signifcantly reduce the quality of life. The main symptoms are dyspareunia, dysuria, itching, dry skin and mucous membranes in the vulva. The clinical picture may be limited only to the vulva, or associated with extragenital localization. It is diffcult to overestimate the importance of the differential diagnosis of vulvar dermatoses, since most of them are clinically very similar to each other. Not only the cure for a specifc disease depends on the correct diagnosis, but also the prevention of the development of oncology, because some nosologies can become malignant. For example, lichen planus and lichen sclerosus can develop into squamous cell carcinoma. The most common method of therapy is topical glucocorticosteroids, but in the last few years more effective and complex ones have appeared, incl. combined methods for the treatment of dermatoses of the vulva, such as CO 2 laser, Er: Yag, Prp, biorevitalization, etc.
