Abstract
A patient’s medical history provides essential information in the determination of a correct diagnosis of vulvodynia. It is important to ask specific questions in order to obtain detailed information, and equally essential to ask open-ended questions that allow a patient to describe her condition, throughout the whole process, displaying empathy, understanding, and acceptance (see Chapter 3).
