The conditions described in this chapter are distinct from those in the preceding chapters in this section on disorders of perception in that both vulvodynia and penoscrotodynia are disorders of sensation rather than of perception. The distinction that I seek to draw is that between sensation and perception. Sensation is the first stage in receiving information outside the self. The sensory system includes the visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, gustatory, kinaesthetic and proprioceptive pathways. These pathways deal with the receipt, transformation and transmission of raw and disparate sensory data from peripheral receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). The transformation of raw sensory stimuli into sensory information is then decoded into meaningful perception involving active processes that are influenced by attention, affect, cultural expectations, context, prior experiences, memory and prior concepts (Oyebode, 2018). What is important is to recognize that such a distinction exists between the awareness of primary sensations and the awareness of perceptions.
