Ebook The Vulva : Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology

---

Few books are devoted exclusively to the vulva. The assumption that vulva
skin is like the skin of external body surfaces is wrong. Vulvar tissue has
many unique physiological properties and characteristics that differentiate it
from the skin and tissue of other body sites. Researchers studying the vulva
and clinicians treating patients with vulvar conditions know that there is a
paucity of information about the vulva in the medical literature. Consequently,
the unique physiology of the vulva, its normal and diseased states, pertinent
cultural and hygiene practices that affect vulvar health, and the direction of
current investigative research are not widely recognized. This insufficient body
of information is responsible for the existing deficiencies in knowledge of
the vulva, education and training of physicians about vulvar conditions, and
appropriate diagnosis and treatment of vulvar pathology.
Weattempt to redress these deficiencies with this new volume, The Vulva,
a compilation of up-to-date clinical and research information collected in one
comprehensive work. The Vulva was written primarily for medical and scientific
audiences to underscore unique aspects of vulvar physiology, to highlight
possible ethnic differences, to review vulvar diseases, to alert researchers and
clinicians to cultural and hygiene practices that affect vulvar health, and to
share the latest techniques in investigative research on vulvar tissue. The Vulva
includes chapters on vulvar anatomy, physiology, microbiology, age-related
changes, ethnicity, diseases, global cultural and hygiene practices, personal
products used on the vulva, and toxicological and bioengineering research
methods applied to vulvar research.
The information included in this book presents the current knowledge and
understanding of vulvology. Although this work attempts to be a comprehensive
and up-to-date resource, we acknowledge that research on the vulva lags behind
other fields. Researchers and clinicians who have contributed to this volume hope
to promote a better understanding of the unique physiology of the vulva and to
encourage needed research.
This book is intended to increase awareness of the unique health concerns
of the vulva and to be a valuable resource on the vulva region for the medical
and scientific communities
