According to DSM-IV (American Psychiatric Association 1994), the diagnosis of dyspareunia is made when the patient complains of recurrent or persistent genital pain before, during, or after sexual intercourse that is not caused exclusively by lack of lubrication or by vaginismus. Clinically, it is often difficult to separate dyspareunia from vaginismus, since vaginismus may occur secondary to a history of dyspareunia and even mild vaginismus is often accompanied by dyspareunia. It is important to establish whether the dyspareunia is acquired or lifelong and whether it is generalized (complete) or situational. Further inquiry should determine whether the pain is superficial or deep - whether it occurs primarily at the vaginal outlet or vaginal barrel or upon deep thrusting against the cervix. Even when the pain can be reproduced during a physical examination, the possible role of psychological factors in either causing or maintaining the pain must be acknowledged and dealt with in treatment.
The symptom of [[dyspareunia]] is pain during intercourse/penetration, which could be either introital (at the vaginal entrance), deep (in the [[vagina]] or [[pelvis]]), or both. [[Dyspareunia]] can have a negative impact on a patient's mental and [[physical]] health, body image, relationships with partners, and efforts to conceive. It can affect the quality of life. It can lead to, or be associated with other female sexual dysfunction disorders, such as [[decreased libido]], [[arousal|decreased arousal]], and [[anorgasmia]]. Prognosis may vary based on the cause of [[dyspareunia]].

Overview

The symptom of dyspareunia is pain during intercourse/penetration, which could be either introital (at the vaginal entrance), deep (in the vagina or pelvis), or both. Dyspareunia can have a negative impact on a patient's mental and physical health, body image, relationships with partners, and efforts to conceive. It can affect the quality of life. It can lead to, or be associated with other female sexual dysfunction disorders, such as decreased libido, decreased arousal, and anorgasmia. Prognosis may vary based on the cause of dyspareunia.
