In David’s private practice he manages women with a variety of vulval conditions. These include outpatient gynaecology consultations for:
- Vulval itching
- Vulval pain / Vulvodynia
- Lichen Sclerosus / Lichen Planus
Surgical management including a wide range of procedures. These include:

David believes vulval disease is poorly managed by health professionals and that most women with a vulval condition do not benefit from a full clinical assessment comprising of a detailed history being taken alongside a clinical examination. This is crucial in order to make a correct diagnosis so appropriate treatment can be planned. For many women with a long-term condition - especially pain - a holistic approach is necessary to manage the condition. This may include medical treatments, pain management, psychosexual therapy and physical therapy.
