Abstract
Vulval symptoms are common among postmenopausal women. A wide range of pathology underlies often similar presentations. Vulval care with emollients is the first‐line treatment in most vulval conditions. Vulval disease is a growing specialty across gynaecology, dermatology and genitourinary medicine. Learning objectives: To recognise the impact of vulval health on quality of life. To use a systematic approach to clinical diagnosis in most cases. To recognise cases requiring vulval biopsy. To promote uniformity in nomenclature and treatment. Ethical issues: Should women with vulval disorders be seen by multidisciplinary teams or by vulval specialists?
