Dyspareunia

Dyspareunia is difficult or painful sexual intercourse, due to physical or psychological causes.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Deep dyspareunia and superficial dyspareunia (present/absent) were the main outcome measures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Nail Abnormality

    Nail abnormalities and dyspareunia are rarely reported in this syndrome. We describe a case of glucagonoma syndrome in which recurrent brittle nails and dyspareunia gave the patient the first clues of the recurrence of glucagonoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Splenectomy

    She had undergone a splenectomy 15 years earlier after a car accident. A laparoscopic approach to a rectovaginal nodularity was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Hip Pain

    While the pain from mechanical irritation of the vagina was resolved, the patient continues to have difficulty with intercourse, which is related to hip pain as a result of her initial injury and complex pelvic surgery. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Thin Skin

    skin, ulcerations or discharge associated with vulvovaginal infections or vaginal atrophy. [en.wikipedia.org]

  • Necrolytic Migratory Erythema

    Abstract Glucagonoma syndrome is a paraneoplastic syndrome in which the occurrence and resolution of the characteristic necrolytic migratory erythema lesions parallel the course of the underlying glucagonoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Monoplegia

    Repeat Chiari innominate osteotomy in a young woman with traumatic monoplegia and subsequent hypoplasia of the hemipelvis and leg resulted in rotation of the pubic ramus into the vagina, causing obstructive dyspareunia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Imperforate Hymen

    A problem present at birth, such as the absence of a fully-formed vagina (vaginal agenesis) or development of a membrane that blocks the vaginal opening (imperforate hymen), could be the underlying cause of dyspareunia. [vuvatech.com]

    A problem present at birth, such as the absence of a fully formed vagina (vaginal agenesis) or development of a membrane that blocks the vaginal opening (imperforate hymen), could cause dyspareunia. [mayoclinic.org]

    Dyspareunia may also result from: Malformation of the genitalia: narrowed vagina, labial adhesion, vaginal septa, imperforate hymen Injury during childbirth, genital mutilation, injury or surgery Any pain affecting the vestibule (if the cause is unknown [dermnetnz.org]

    Abnormalities at birth: Less common underlying causes of dyspareunia include vaginal agenesis, when the vagina does not develop fully, or imperforate hymen, in which the hymen blocks the vaginal opening. [medicalnewstoday.com]

  • Enlarged Uterus

    The CT scan also revealed a lobulated and enlarged uterus consistent with uterine leiomyoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Enlarged uterus from myoma. Fixed retroverted uterus. Scarring from surgery for genitourinary prolapse.[10] Inadequate sexual arousal (as with pain at the introitus). IBS. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or chronic constipation. Pelvic mass. [patient.info]

    IM ergometrine if further bleeding uncontrolled Missed - Detected on USS or bleeding - O/E: Os closed, death in utero, small for dates - Rx: Surgical evacuation Molar pregnancy - Hyperemesis gravidarium OR no symptoms - O/E: Enlarged uterus for dates. [brainscape.com]

  • Urethral Discharge

    There was no mention of dysuria, urethral discharge, testicular pain, history of pelvic surgery or prior similar complains in the past. [revistagastroenterologiamexico.org]
