Brief description Many women experience severe debilitating pain upon normally innocuous contact with their genitalia. The causes of this pain are unknown. Therefore, this project will use a suite of sophisticated microscopic and electrical recording techniques to identify the neural pathways that transmit sensation, including pain, from the female lower genital tract. Our new data will help create a rational basis for understanding and treating the physical basis of genital pain in women.
