Many patients will go to great lengths to solve genital symptoms on their own, whether motivated by embarrassment, lack of access to medical care, or uncertainty as to which medical professional is best suited to treat the problem. This often leads to a delay in care and sometimes more than one cause of their symptoms by the time care is obtained. In fact, 1 in 6 women will experience an untreated vulvovaginal discomfort in their lifetime.1 The following chapter will review the most common causes of genital complaints with some early intervention recommendations.
