Abstract
Dyspareunia is a very common disorder that is manifested in painful sensation in the perineal and pelvic areas during sexual intercourse, before and after it. According to the modern paradigm, dyspareunia is not simply pain syndrome, but a predictor of symptomatic organic sexual dysfunction that negatively affects both physical and emotional state of the patient. The paper describes the risk factors of dyspareunia and their effects on the pelvic floor muscle tissue and the development of pelvic floor hypertonicity.
Key words: dyspareunia, pelvic floor dysfunction, overactive pelvic floor muscles, sexual dysfunction, myofascial pain syndrome.
