Deep dyspareunia is a pain that occurs with deep vaginal penetration. which resulting from pelvic thrusting during intercourse. Causes are divided into three groups according to Onset, Frequency as well. Based on the onset, dyspareunia can be divided into two groups based on the onset in women: Primary (onset with first sexual experience) Often has psychological causes, such as sexual abuse in childhood, feeling of guilt or shame toward sex, or fear of intercourse or painful first intercourse, and secondary dyspareunia that its beginning is after a previous sexual activity that was not painful. Dyspareunia can be Persistent, which occurs in all situations, possibly due to physical or psychological factors, or conditional dyspareunia that occurs in certain situations. Abdomino-pelvic disorders such as endometriosis, imperforate hymen, vaginal septum, or organic vulvodynia due to infection, lichen sclerosis, or vestibulitis, vaginal infections, prolapse, trauma, or vaginal dryness can cause dyspareunia. It can also be due to gastrointestinal disorders such as chronic constipation, diverticular diseases, inflammatory bowel disease/proctitis. Scarring due to previous pelvic surgery, episiotomy, and perineorraphy, or urological causes such as cystitis, interstitial cystitis, or urethritis can cause dyspareunia as well. Male dyspareunia is divided into broad categories of underlying causes ranging from anatomic anomalies to psychosocial problems. Male dyspareunia is related to the following anatomical structures: 1) prepuce, 2) glans penis, 3) penile shaft, 4) testicles, and 5) urethra and prostate gland. Another classification system defines four broad categories: Isolated painful ejaculation, Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain, Medical causes, psychological causes.
