Vulvar Clinic

Dean Health System offers this unique clinic specializing in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of vulvo-vaginal pain (vulvodynia). The Vulvar Clinic is based within the OB/GYN department at Dean West Clinic on Madison's west side. Consultations are also available (limited schedule) at Dean East Clinic.

Our specialists take your vaginal pain and discomfort seriously. Vulvodynia is a very real condition that can effect 1 in 8 women over a lifetime. There are numerous causes of this condition, and most are treatable.
