Article Synopsis
- The study examines the prevalence and predictors of secondary provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) in reproductive-aged women experiencing recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).
- Out of 60 women analyzed, 60% were found to have PVD, and those with PVD had significantly higher instances of UTI and lower sexual function scores.
- Key predictors of PVD included having UPEC-related rUTIs, experiencing six or more UTIs in the past year, and receiving treatment with three or more antibiotics during that same period.
