Young Vulvodynia

The project Young Vulvodynia – “Ung Vulvodyni” aims to explore how vulvodynia is expressed in women between 15 and 23 years of age, and describe the prevalence of vulvodynia in women seeking care at the youth guidance centers (YGC) in Region Örebro County and Värmlands County. Furthermore, we will evaluate effect and feasibility of a multimodal intervention for young women with vulvodynia, seeking care at the YGC in Region Örebro County. Women diagnosed with vulvodynia are invited to participate in this single case experimental design study. Furthermore, all treated women will be asked to participate in semi-structured interviews.

The project will add to the scientific knowledgebase on prevalence and symptoms specific for young women and increased knowledge on effects and feasibility of a multimodal intervention to treat vulvodynia in a young population.
