Vulval problems are common, but poorly understood and somewhat taboo. This handbook gives the busy clinician the knowledge and tools to immediately start helping patients. Suitable for gynaecologists, dermatologists, primary care practitioners, and nurse practitioners, it enables quick access to information and is ideal for the consulting room.

Conditions of the vulva are very common but often taboo, and can badly affect people's sex life, comfort and self-confidence. Despite this, clinicians receive little training in these conditions. This comprehensive yet handy third edition has been fully updated with research giving new insights into vulval diseases, vulvo-vaginal pain and vaginitis. Full-colour clinical photographs and illustrations demonstrate the clinical appearance of a wide spectrum of conditions. Chapters are organised by clinical presentation for ease of reference and information is presented practically, covering misconceptions and common patient questions. Co-written by a dermatologist and a gynaecologist - both specializing in vulval conditions - the handbook provides a unique visual and written guide to the diagnosis, treatment and management of both acute and chronic vulval presentations and explores the latest opinions on causation and classification of neoplasia in the vulva.

Gayle Fischer is a Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the University of Sydney. She has a thirty-five year career in researching and publishing on the subject of vulval disease, and is the author of around 200 research articles and chapters in peer-reviewed journals and textbooks. Jennifer Bradford is a clinical gynaecologist with over thirty years' experience. She specialises in vulvo-vaginal disorders, and pelvic pain including sexual pain.
