Essay

The Oregon Health Sciences University is the only medial school in Oregon, and serves Oregon, Southwest Washington, Idaho, and Northern California.

The Vulvar pain clinic is a multidisciplinary clinic. All patients are evaluated by a gynecologist and a clinical sex therapist. The clinic believes most cases of vulvodynia are related to dermatologic, infectious, myofascial, or neorogenic causes. We make use of extensive physical therapy and other non-surgical techniques. The clinic has existed since 1989, and has been under the direction of Dr. Jensen since 1992
