Abstract

Vulvodynia is a chronic, heterogeneous, and multifacto rial disease of uncertain etiology that affects up to 16% of women in the general population. An accurate diagnosis requires a comprehensive history, physical examination and targeted diagnostic tests. Although many treatment options have been utilized, a rational therapeutic strategy is still under research. We present a case of a 60-year-old woman presenting with a one-year history of vulvodynia previously unresponsive to medical treatment and successful medical management of this chronic pain disorder with pregabaline.

Özet

Vulvodini genel populasyonun %16’ını etkileyen etyolojisi tam belli olmayan, kronik, heterojen bir hastalıktır. Doğru tanı için tam hikaye, fizik muayene ve bazı tanısal testler gerekmektedir. Birçok tedavi seçenekleri uygu lanmasına rağmen doğru terapötik tedavi stratejileri halen araştırılmaktadır. Biz bu yazımızda 60 yaşında, bir yıldır vulvodini hikayesi olan ve medikal tedavilere cevap vermemiş, ancak pregabalin ile başarılı sonuç aldığımız hastamızı vaka takdimi olarak sunduk ve vulvodini tedavisi için pregabalinin alternatif bir tedavi seçeneği olup olmayacağını tartıştık.
