VVS appears to be associated with abnormal tactile and pain sensation in the affected region, and a tendency towards generalized hyperalgesia. These results supported the classification of VVS as a pain disorder as opposed to its traditional classification as a sexual dysfunction. The shift in classification will have far-reaching implications. It will affect how and which scientists go about studying pain, how and which professionals treat it, how individuals themselves and their significant others react to the pain, and the way in which larger social institutions address the problem.
