Upcoming Ground Rounds

Speaker: Dr. Martha Goetsch
Topic: Vestibulitis/Vestibulodynia
Dr Goetsch has been a clinician and teacher for over 30 years. As a clinician she has studied vestibulitis/ vestibulodynia since approximately 1987, out of which came the first prevalence study of vestibulitis in 1991. This has continued to be her focus of clinical and academic work. Dr Goetsch developed a simple superficial minor procedure with a cure rate of 85% that has attracted women to the Center for Women’s Health and Program in Vulvar Health, where she has been a specialist for 11 years. Dr. Goetsch has a very active vulvar practice and patients come from our region, from other states and even other countries for care. As a clinician-scientist she has led and collaborated in immuno-histochemical research on Vestibulodynia and continue to do clinical translational research, relating the findings in vulvar research to the wider population of women both pre-menopausal and post-menopausal.
