Pelvic examination according to VAPM protocol can be applied in vulvar pain patients for diagnostic purposes. Besides of vulvodynia symptoms any other analyzed variables did not influence on scores of VAMP protocols. We found that cut-off score ≥ 3 even in one of V, M or P component of VAMP protocol can be considered as diagnostic criterium for vulvodynia. Component A (anus area) was not useful for vulvodynia diagnosis.
