Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess the intensity of pain reported in two specific situations: a) during attempted vaginal penetration during sexual intercourse, which will be assessed through the participant's self-report and b) pain on palpation in specific points located on the perineal body and vulva ( external regions), which will be evaluated through palpation of the vulva and vagina and the visual analogue scale. It is expected to find a reduction in pain intensity during sexual intercourse, as well as a reduction of at least two points on the visual analogue scale. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the quality of sexual life using the validated questionnaires Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and Sexual Quotient - Female Version (QS-F).
