The investigators plan to study the etiology of vulvodynia, a condition characterized by chronic vulvar discomfort, most often described as burning pain, occurring in the absence of relevant visible findings or a specific, clinically identifiable, neurologic disorder. Our hypothesis is that vulvodynia is the result of an altered immuno-inflammatory response mechanism that occurs as a consequence of reproductive, gynecologic, environmental, or psychological exposures, with abnormal vaginal microflora and genetic polymorphisms as potential modifiers of the effects of interest. Therefore, the investigators propose to collect information about reproductive, gynecological and environmental exposures, psychological trauma and psychiatric morbidity, and biological markers of immuno-inflammation and nerve fiber proliferation.
