Background: Dyspareunia, defined as pain before, during or after intercourse, is a subset of female sexual dysfunction with overlapping gynecologic, urologic and psychosocial etiologies.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of menstrual pain and visceral hypersensitivity on sexual function and to identify risk factors for sexual pain in healthy reproductive-age females.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we evaluated gynecologic and psychologic self-reported histories, validated sexual function questionnaires, and conducted a standardized gynecologic examination enhanced by quantitative sensory testing in reproductive-aged females with menstrual pain versus pain-free controls.
