[La dyspareunie féminine, not a simple functional disorder !].

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.
