Inclusion

http://www.aafp.org/afp/990315ap/1547.html

Maybe this could be included? It's a fairly accessible study even to a layperson, and it helps to explain why tricyclic antidepressants may be prescribed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.23.32.119 (talk) 03:39, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

With this edit, we now have three references in the lead to the fact that vulvodynia has no observable cause. Do we really need all three? Powers ^T 13:38, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

16% of WOMEN???

I don't have access to the source mentioned here (Stockdale 2013), but I find it suspicious that it would affect 16% of WOMEN... I can't give a reliable source, but I read somewhere that if affects 16% of women diagnosed with chronic pelvic pain. That's not the same! 24.37.29.254 (talk) 15:48, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ref says "Although vulvodynia is reported by up to 16% of women in the general population, National Institutes of Health–funded projects addressing vulvodynia epidemiology, treatment, and outcomes have remained poor" so checks out.
