The ISSVD regularly promotes and develops terminology, classification, and guidelines concerning these conditions. These include, among others: vulvar dermatosis (lichen sclerosus, lichen planus),[1][2] vulvar pain (vulvodynia),[3][4][5] vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia,[6] etc. More recently, a guideline concerning female cosmetic genital surgery was published.[7]
