Severity of sexual function interference amongst patients presenting to a vulvar specialty clinic using condition-specific patient-reported measures

This cross-sectional study evaluated the severity of sexual function interference among patients presenting to a tertiary-care vulvar specialty clinic using condition-specific patient-reported outcome measures (VQLI and VPAQ). We found that sexual interference was highly prevalent, with the majority of patients reporting moderate-to-severe impact across diagnostic categories including vulvar dermatoses, vulvodynia, and vaginitis. While mean severity differed by diagnosis, clinically meaningful interference was common across all groups. These findings support routine assessment of sexual function as a key component of vulvar disease care.
