Résumé

Dyspareunia in the postmenopausal woman is often multifactorial and requires a thorough history, a targeted physical examination, and coordination of multiple disciplines, including medical professionals, pelvic floor physical therapists, and sex therapists. Although we have come a long way since early assessments of painful sex, evaluation and treatment of dyspareunia remain an unmet need. This is particularly true in postmenopausal women in whom it is commonly assumed that pain with penetrative sex is solely a consequence of atrophy.
