Sexual Pain or Dyspareunia or in other words Painful coitus.
The medical term for sexual pain or dyspareunia or painful intercourse or painful coitus is dyspareunia. This definition includes recurrent or persistent discomfort that happens before, during, or after intercourse.
Sexual pain or dyspareunia is a complex disorder that can be further classified as superficial or deep, and primary or secondary.
Superficial dyspareunia is pain localized to the vulva or vaginal entrance, and deep sexual pain or dyspareunia or dyspareunia is pain perceived inside the vagina or lower pelvis, which is often associated with deep penetration.
Primary sexual pain or dyspareunia occurs at initial intercourse, and secondary dyspareunia occurs after some time of pain-free intercourse.
Painful intercourse or sexual pain or dyspareunia is sometimes further characterized as vulvodynia. Vulvodynia is a chronic pain that is defined as genital pain with no known etiology that lasts more than three months and may or may not be associated with sexual intercourse.
The International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Diseases (ISSVD), the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health (ISSWSH), and the International Pelvic Pain Society (IPPS) further describe vulvodynia by the site of pain (localized, generalized, or mixed); if it is provoked, spontaneous, or mixed; or if the pain is intermittent, persistent, constant, immediate, or delayed.
Localized vulvodynia refers to pain limited to the vulvar vestibule around the hymeneal ring at the entrance to the vagina, and generalized vulvodynia is defined as pain affecting the entire vulvar region.
Vulvodynia has no clear etiology. However, ISSVD, ISSWSH, and IPPS list the following potential associated factors: other pain syndromes, genetics, hormonal factors, inflammation, musculoskeletal or neurologic mechanisms, psychosocial factors, and structural defects.
Dyspareunia and vulvodynia are often used interchangeably; however, it is important to appreciate that the terms have different meanings.
Sexual pain or dyspareunia is a descriptive term for the symptom of pelvic or vaginal pain associated with intercourse (i.e., it describes pain that always occurs with provoking touch such as intercourse). However, vulvodynia may occur with or without provocation (i.e., spontaneously). Dyspareunia can occur at the entrance of the vagina, deep in the vaginal canal, or in the pelvis.
Vulvodynia is localized to the vulva and vaginal introitus. Lastly, whereas dyspareunia may be acute or chronic, vulvodynia is a term used specifically for the classification of chronic pain (i.e, pain lasting longer than three months).
Both terms can be used to describe pain that coexists with other comorbidities such as endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, pelvic floor myalgias, and vulvar dermatoses.
Etiology and risk factors of Sexual Pain or Dyspareunia and vulvodynia
Sexual pain or dyspareunia is believed to be a specific pain disorder with interdependent psychological and biological etiologies. Like vulvodynia, superficial dyspareunia can be associated with vaginitis, dermatosis, and vulvovaginitis.
In contrast, deep sexual pain or dyspareunia can result from visceral disorders such as interstitial cystitis pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, adhesions, pelvic congestion, and fibroids.
Pain syndromes can potentially overlap and be associated with dyspareunia and vulvodynia, including irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Other conditions that may contribute to the development of dyspareunia include poor vaginal lubrication, vaginal atrophy, and childbirth.
Childbirth is a risk factor for developing pelvic pain and/or dyspareunia during and potentially beyond the postpartum period.
A cross-sectional study on the effects of childbirth on sexual health reported that an estimated 17% to 36% of women reported dyspareunia at six months postpartum, yet only 15% of women who had postnatal dyspareunia discussed it with a health provider.
Associated comorbidities that may cause vulvodynia are vulvar/vaginal infections, inflammation, neoplasms, trauma, iatrogenic or hormonal deficiencies, neuropathic pain or pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, structural defects, and psychosocial factors.
Physical Exam for Sexual Pain or Dyspareunia
It is helpful to begin the physical inspection by first educating the patient about the examination and her anatomy while explaining what information has been obtained from each step of the assessment. 
Physical examination of patients with genital pain should include an external musculoskeletal evaluation, followed by external visual and sensory examination, as well as internal single digit palpation of the pelvic floor muscles.
If tolerated by the patient, the provider may proceed to a bimanual examination and a speculum exam. It is important to recognize the possible discomfort and anxiety associated with assessments of the pelvis, particularly in patients with pain.
A common strategy used to minimize anxiety and discomfort is the interactive educational pelvic examination process, which includes:
1) explanations to the patient while performing the assessment.
2) describing the specific actions during each step.
3) using a mirror to enable the patient to visualize her anatomy and the examination. This allows the clinician to thoroughly evaluate the patient’s pain, exclude diagnoses, educate the patient regarding normal anatomy and sexual function, and reassure the patient when no pathology is uncovered.
The external musculoskeletal examination includes a complete lower back, abdomen, and pelvic inspection. It begins by observing any asymmetry or pain in the patient’s gait and her posture in the standing and sitting positions.
Next, the abdominal, gluteal, back, and lower extremity muscles are palpated to identify areas of tension and/or pain. Last, an assessment of muscle strength, range of motion, sensation, and reflexes should be performed.
The vulvar examination is performed systematically by inspecting the external genitalia, perineum, perianal areas, and mons pubis, and assessing for the presence of infection, trauma, atrophy, fissure, and dermatosis.
The standard test for diagnosis of vulvodynia is the cotton swab test. This test can help determine the location of pain as well as distinguish between mechanical allodynia and hyperalgesia.
- Allodynia is a term used to describe a painful response to a non-painful stimulation, such as light touch with a cotton swab.
- Hyperalgesia is an excessively painful response to a painful stimulus. The examiner can use the cotton-tipped applicator technique to conduct a sensory exam of the vulva and the six anatomical sites on the vestibule.
The clock face is used as a reference when describing the location of the vulva and pelvic structures. The 12 o’clock and six o’clock correspond to the anterior and posterior midline or pubic symphysis and anus, respectively.
The presence of allodynia or hyperalgesia on the vestibule is abnormal and suspicious for neuropathy.
The internal musculoskeletal and vaginal single-digit exam is the most reliable method for evaluating pelvic muscle tenderness.
Using the index finger, the examiner can palpate the lateral, anterior, and posterior walls of the vagina, the urethra, and pelvic floor muscles (levator ani, coccygeus, piriformis, and obturator internus).
The purpose is to access the specific areas for tone, tenderness, or involuntary spasms of the muscles of the introitus and pelvic floor.
Tenderness during minimal or moderate palpation is considered abnormal; pelvic and vaginal structures can tolerate approximately 2 kg of pressure without pain. The patient is then asked to squeeze or contract around the single digit to assess their muscle strength. An effort should also be made to identify any scars from previous surgeries, episiotomy, or trauma.
If the patient can tolerate the single digit muscular exam, a bimanual exam can be performed to evaluate the uterus and adnexa.
The purpose is to assess the uterus, cul-de-sac, and adnexa regions for any masses or tenderness. If the patient tolerates this portion of the exam, then the provider can proceed to an internal examination using a small-sized Grave’s or Pederson speculum.
All efforts should be made to insert the speculum slowly to allow accommodation of the speculum and to avoid touching the urethra or vulvar vestibule which can elicit pain.
During the speculum exam, the internal vaginal tissue, cervix, and vaginal secretions are examined. At this time, cultures or biopsies can be collected to rule out infections, dermatoses, or abnormal cellular dysplasia that can cause dyspareunia or vulvodynia.
Differential diagnosis
- Sexual pain or dyspareunia disorder: persistent recurrent genital pain or nonorganic cause associated with sexual stimulation.
- Vaginismus: painful, involuntary spasm of the vagina, preventing intercourse
- Vulvar vestibulitis: a chronic and persistent clinical syndrome characterized by severe pain with vestibular touch or attempted vaginal entry, tenderness in response to pressure within the vulvar vestibule, and physical findings confined to various degrees of vestibular erythema.
- Vulvodynia: chronic vulvar discomfort (e.g. burning, stinging, irritation, rawness).
- Female sexual dysfunction (disorders of desire, arousal, or orgasm)
Allopathic treatment for Sexual Pain or Dyspareunia
Current allopathic treatment recommendations for sexual pain or dyspareunia, and vulvodynia vary. The selected treatment should be specific if a cause is identified (e.g., vaginal infection, musculoskeletal, endometriosis).
Because vulvodynia is chronic genital pain, medical treatment for vulvodynia may be more challenging.
Homeopathic treatments should be individualized, and a multimodal treatment approach to address all aspects of pain (i.e., physical, emotional, and behavioral) is recommended.
Both sexual pain or dyspareunia and vulvodynia treatment plans, if appropriate, should start with conservative medical non-invasive approaches.
In allopathic way of treatment sometimes it is necessary to escalate to surgical interventions. This may involve a team approach with gynecology, physical therapy, pain management, sexual therapy, and mental health professionals who specialize in chronic pain.
Hormonal Treatment for Sexual Pain or Dyspareunia
Vulvovaginal atrophy caused by decreased levels of estrogen is a common problem in aging women. In patients who present with the main symptoms of atrophy, dryness, and dyspareunia, the first line of therapy consists of topical estrogen to restore normal vaginal pH levels and thicken and increase cell numbers leading to the revascularization of the epithelium.
Low-dose allopathic conjugated estrogens available in the forms of vaginal inserts (e.g., cream, tablet, and ring) can be applied periodically from a few times a week to every three months.
Topical estrogen should be considered to avoid the systemic effect of oral estrogen. However, patients using allopathic estrogen supplementation in any form should be followed clinically, and estrogen supplementation is contraindicated in patients with certain comorbidities such as breast cancer and uncontrolled cardiovascular disease. Additionally, topical vaginal estrogen therapy may take up to four weeks before patients notice an effect.
Anti-Inflammatory Agents
Tissue levels of interleukin B, an inflammatory mediator cytokine, have been reported to be higher in the hymenal region of the vestibule of women with vulvodynia.
Injectable anti-inflammatory agents such as corticosteroids, interferons, and mast cell stabilizers have been used to treat vulvodynia with some improvement. However, randomized controlled trials to recommend them as a first-line treatment are lacking.
Botulinum Type A
Allopathic injection of botulinum toxin A into the pelvic floor muscles has been shown in some studies to decrease dyspareunia and vulvodynia caused by pelvic floor myalgia and contracture.
Botulinum toxin A is hypothesized to inhibit nociceptors leading to a decrease in peripheral and central sensitization associated with vulvodynia.
A long-term assessment of the effectiveness of botulinum injections after 24 months revealed that patients could have sexual intercourse and had improved quality of life.
It is not recommended as a first-line therapy as further clinical trials of botulinum type A are needed, but it is used as an adjunct to other therapies.
Systemic Medications
Tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsants have been shown to improve pain symptoms in patients with vulvodynia.
Tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline are known to reduce peripheral nerve sensitization and have been used in the management of neuropathic pain. It can take up to three weeks to achieve pain control.
Although patients have reported symptomatic relief from vulvodynia with tricyclic pharmacotherapy, additional research is required for allopathic researchers to identify the characteristics that would predict the appropriate patients for this therapy.
Surgical Therapy for Sexual Pain or Dyspareunia
Surgical treatment is performed as a last resort for allopath when all conservative and medical management options have failed or when surgery is indicated to determine and/or treat pelvic adhesions, endometriosis, or pelvic organ prolapse.
The surgical options are specific to the disorder, but most commonly include vulvar vestibulectomy, lysis of pelvic adhesions, or excision of endometriosis.
Thorough counseling is necessary prior to pursuing surgical treatment. Patients must understand that surgery may improve their pain, but their pain may sometimes return or worsen.?
Vestibulectomy can be an effective treatment only for localized, provoked vestibulodynia.
Generally, surgical techniques include a complete vulvar vestibulectomy, which involves excision of the mucosa of the entire vulvar vestibule and the mucosa adjacent to the urethra, or a modified vestibulectomy, which limits the excision of mucosa to the posterior vestibule.
