  • Title: Dyspareunia: a complex problem requiring a selective approach.
    Author: Walid MS, Heaton RL.
    Journal: Sex Health; 2009 Sep; 6(3):250-3. PubMed ID: 19653964.
    Abstract:
    Dyspareunia frequently has a multifactorial aetiology. The problem with the term is that it is not specific enough and does not allow for proper discussion of the very important problem of pain with sexual intercourse, a problem that can be very disturbing to a couple's relationship. We present two cases of patients who had multiple potential anatomic reasons for dyspareunia. The clinical picture, treatment strategy and the complex nature of deep penetration pain was discussed. We also proposed a new way of defining dyspareunia to allow a more adequate way of studying and discussing the problem.
