| dc.description.abstract | OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of vulvar pain and pain related to sexual intercourse among women attending a general medical clinic in Accra, Ghana. STUDY DESIGN: A crosssectional survey was performed. RESULTS: Forty-six women (22.8%) reported the presence of vulvar pain at the time of the study. There was a significant association between the presence of vulvar pain and dissatisfaction with the quality of sexual activity (p < 0.001). There was no association between the presence of vulvar pain and the type of underwear used or the menstrual hygiene of the respondents. CONCLUSION: Vulvar pain with some relationship to sexual intercourse appears to be a significant problem among Ghanaian women. | en_US |
