Diagnostic strategies to be discussed will include history and physical examination, use of vulvoscopy, quantitative sensory testing, blood tests and genital blood flow testing. Management strategies to be discussed will include pelvic floor physical therapy, pharmacologic treatments (hormonal and non-hormonal) and surgical management. This learning experience will include didactic lectures, question-and-answer sessions, case studies with ample discussion for emphasis of critical points and extensive handout materials for future reference by attendees.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
interpret the current state of the art in basic science, physiology and pathophysiology of female sexual function and dysfunction
