国际外阴阴道疾病研究学会（ISSVD）、国际女性性健康研究学会（ISSWSH）和国际盆腔疼痛学会（IPPS）这三个科学学会制定了“2015 ISSVD、ISSWSH和IPPS持续性外阴疼痛和外阴痛共识术语和分类”（简称“2015共识术语”）。该术语包括外阴痛的11个描述符。然而，描述符的定义未包含在2015年共识术语出版物中。本文的目的是提供这些定义。材料和方法ISSVD领导了一个讨论的定义为11外阴痛描述符，从ISSWSH和IPPS的参与。这些定义是通过协商一致进程制定的。结果对定义进行了描述，并阐明了其选择的基本原理。结论外阴痛描述符的定义是由具有外阴痛的病理生理学、评估和治疗专业知识的卫生保健提供者之间的多阶段讨论过程确定的。这些定义得到了ISSVD、ISSWSH和IPPS的批准。建议将这些外阴痛描述符的定义以及2015年共识术语用于外阴痛的分类。
Objectives Three scientific societies, the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD), the International Society for the Study of Women Sexual Health (ISSWSH), and the International Pelvic Pain Society (IPPS) developed the "2015 ISSVD, ISSWSH, and IPPS Consensus Terminology and Classification of Persistent Vulvar Pain and Vulvodynia" (referred to as the "2015 consensus terminology"). The terminology included 11 descriptors of vulvodynia. However, the definitions of the descriptors were not included in the 2015 consensus terminology publications. The objective of this article was to provide these definitions. Materials and Methods The ISSVD led a discussion on the definitions for the 11 vulvodynia descriptors, with participation from the ISSWSH and IPPS. The definitions were created through a consensus process. Results The definitions are described and the rationale for their choice is elucidated. Conclusions The definitions of vulvodynia descriptors were determined by a multistaged process of discussion among health care providers with expertise in the pathophysiology, evaluation, and treatment of vulvodynia. The definitions were approved by the ISSVD, ISSWSH, and IPPS. It is recommended that these definitions of vulvodynia descriptors as well as the 2015 consensus terminology be used for the classification of vulvodynia.
