Brief summary
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.
Detailed description
The main objective is to describe the management of superficial dyspareunia by health professionals.
