Management of Women With Superficial Dyspareunia (dyspareunie)

November 15, 2023 updated by: Université de Reims Champagne-Ardenne

Superficial dyspareunia are persistent or recurrent pains during an attempt at sexual intercourse or during effective penetration.

They affect between 3 to 18% of women and are a source of physical and psychological suffering.

Some health professionals (gynecologists, general practitioners, midwives) are confronted daily with these complaints.

The approach of sexuality remains a complex subject even within the medical field. As a result, communication between women and health professionals can be difficult, leading to delayed diagnosis or inadequate management.
