The vulva corresponds to the external female genitalia. Special features of this
region favor a wide range of diseases, whose knowledge allows for better
clinical management, impacting on the quality of life. This is a cross-sectional
and descriptive study carried out at a vulvar pathology outpatient clinic,
between May and December/ 2015. Data obtained from a standard form included
demographic parameters, habits, and vulvar dermatosis and allowed to identify
the epidemiological profile of patients with vulvar dermatosis treated in this
outpatient clinic and to determine the most prevalent dermatoses. Our results,
partially concordant with the literature, provide original data that should
stimulate further studies
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
