Abstract:
Dyspareunia, better termed women's sexual pain, is a poorly understood disorder once believed to be purely psychologic. Thanks to cooperative research efforts from several specialties toward defining subsets of the disorder, understanding the etiology of subsets and their comorbidities and new concepts for diagnosis and management are being validated or are being put into practice. This review describes the surprising prevalence of sexual pain, outlines new definitions for subtypes of sexual pain and diagnostic criteria for them, and applies these diagnoses to the task of selecting treatment options.
