All patients will undergo an initial evaluation including our Clinical Intake Form and Focused Medical Evaluation with Pelvic Floor Muscle Assessment. Evaluation results are integrated and used to derive an individualized treatment regimen. This form allows our clinical staff to integrate your medical history with our clinical findings as an aid to diagnosis and treatment. An examination of the lower genital tract including inspection, assessment of sensitivity and sensation, and gathering of samples for microscopic evaluation and cultures will be performed. A more general examination of the skin, oral cavity, or other relevant areas may also be indicated.
Surface electromyography is employed to assess the status of the pelvic floor muscles.
Based on the results of this procedure patients may be offered the rehabilitative pelvic floor muscle protocol as a part of their integrated treatment program. Dr. Glazer offers couples and sexual counseling at the Center and when the number of patients permit, he will conduct a 2 hour group session at the Center on Thursday evenings. The Center is able to administer the total spectrum of treatments available for vulvovaginal pain disorders. Our Medical Director, Dr. Rodke, reviews all the evaluation and diagnostic test data and is responsible for making the final diagnosis and treatment recommendations. All patients receive a consultation with Dr. Rodke who will discuss their diagnosis and treatment plan and respond to any questions they may have.
