{{Construction Site}}
'''Dyspareunia''' is painful [[sexual intercourse]] due to medical or psychological causes. The pain can primarily be on the external surface of the [[genitalia]], or deeper in the pelvis upon deep pressure against the [[cervix]]. It can affect a small portion of the vulva or vagina or be felt all over the surface. Understanding the duration, location, and nature of the pain is important in identifying the causes of the pain.<ref name=Wikipedia>{{URLwikipedia|Dyspareunia|Dyspareunia|2020-06-12}}</ref>
Numerous physical, psychological, and social or relationship causes can contribute to pain during sexual encounters. Commonly, multiple underlying causes contribute to the pain. The pain can be acquired or [[Congenital disorder|congenital]]. Symptoms of dyspareunia may also occur after menopause. Diagnosis is typically by [[physical examination]] and [[medical history]].<ref name=Wikipedia/>
Underlying causes determine treatment. Many women experience relief when physical causes are identified and treated.<ref name=Wikipedia/>
Globally, dyspareunia has been estimated to affect between 8–22% of women, at some point in their lives.<ref>{{REFjournal
