Deep dyspareunia; Multidisciplinary approach; Superficial dyspareunia
Abstract :
[en] Dyspareunia is defined as pain during sexual intercourse. It will be qualified as superficial if it occurs during the vaginal penetration and as deep when it appears in the lower abdomen or further in the vagina. It concerns between 10 and 28 % of women during their lifetime and will have a significant impact on their quality of life. Multidisciplinary care will allow an accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment. The collaboration between general practitioner, gynecologist, physiotherapist and psychologist is mandatory in order to improve the quality of life of patients. [fr] La dyspareunie se définit par une douleur lors du rapport sexuel. Elle sera qualifiée de superficielle si elle survient lors de la pénétration du vagin, et de profonde lorsqu’elle apparaît lors de la pénétration complète et est décrite dans le bas du ventre ou dans le fond du vagin. Elle concerne entre 10 et 28 % des femmes au cours de leur vie et impactera de manière importante leur qualité de vie. Une prise en charge multidisciplinaire permettra un diagnostic précis et un traitement optimal. La collaboration entre médecin traitant, gynécologue, physiothérapeute et psychologue est une condition sine qua non pour l’amélioration de la qualité de vie des patientes.
