Although women with vulvodynia typically have increased vulvar sensitivity, data on characteristics associated with the degree of vulvar sensitivity are lacking. We measured vulvar sensitivity by cotton swab test and vulvodolorimeter among a subset of 335 women, ages <70 years, in the longitudinal Woman to Woman Health Study. Comparing the vulvodynia screening results from their online/paper survey to that at the time of the examination, 42 cases had ongoing vulvodynia, 66 cases had a recent remission, 22 controls now had a recent onset of vulvodynia, and 205 controls remained asymptomatic.
