The clinical anatomy of dyspareunia: A review

Abstract: Dyspareunia can be described as continuous unremitting or intermittent pain associated with intercourse. It can be classified based on the location of the pain - entry or deep dyspareunia, or based on when the pain was first experienced - primary or secondary dyspareunia. There are different causes of dyspareunia and some of the most important causes include the following: vulvodynia, postpartum dyspareunia, endometriosis, inadequate vaginal lubrication or arousal, and other anogenital causes such as hemorrhoi… Show more

“…The description of Sunda porcupine placenta with HE staining in thin samples (A3) shows a difference with samples A2 and A1, namely in the A3 sample, the endometrium and myometrium are still seen. According to Alimi et al (2018), the endometrial section shows ciliated columnar epithelium and basal layer of lamina propria. Lamina propria is composed of loose connective tissue, collagen fibers, fibroblasts and lymphocytes that were found between tissues.…”

“…A complex and intricate anatomy and neurophysiology help explain pathophysiologic aspects of dyspareunia and vulvodynia. In fact, the pudendal nerve, which is made up of somatic branches from the sacral plexus, is the main nervous supply of the vulva (58). In addition, the anatomic course of the pudendal nerve makes it susceptible to surgical and obstetrical trauma, potentially leading to entry dyspareunia and vulvodynia (58).…”

In addition, the anatomic course of the pudendal nerve makes it susceptible to surgical and obstetrical trauma, potentially leading to entry dyspareunia and vulvodynia (58). It is also proposed that pelvic floor muscle dysfunction is commonly reported in women with vulvodynia.…”

“…Defecatory disorders with pelvic organ prolapse can be corrected through rectal suspension, rectovaginal enforcement, and rectal wall excision. Dyspareunia can result from surgical approaches to the rectovaginal region (Alimi, Iwanaga, Oskouian, Loukas, & Tubbs, 2018). For CIC, sacral neuromodulation can restore neuromuscular function (73% satisfaction; range: 57-87%) (Wilkinson-Smith et al, 2018).…”
