Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Lower genital tract diseases represent the most frequent pathologies in the gynecological field and range from infections to benign and neoplastic lesions. The last few years have seen a growing interest in vulvovaginal diseases (recurrent infections, vulvodynia, genitourinary syndrome, lichen sclerosus, etc.) and their impact on quality of life. However, the diagnosis and treatment of several lower genital tract diseases remain a challenge. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches are used, although they are not completely effective.
In the current Special Issue, we focus on new studies in the field of the diagnosis and management of vulvovaginal diseases and other rare conditions. These may include genetic and molecular biomarkers, tools for the implementation of differential diagnosis, and new strategies for the treatment of lower genital tract diseases.
