In conclusion, we found that in the patients' perception, topical, invasive and non-pharmacological treatments, but not oral medications, are helpful for genital pain relief in women with vulvodynia, vulvar eczema, and lichen sclerosus. Therefore, we recommend an escalating therapy approach with first-line non-pharmacological treatments together with topical therapies.
