Abstract
Objective: To evaluate tender points number, pressure pain threshold and incidence of fibromyalgia in women with dyspareunia
Patients and Methods: Married women dyspareunia were compared to 35 healthy controls. Females were asked if they encountered sexual intercourse throughout the preceding month and dyspareunia was rated from zero to 3 by using
Marinoff Dyspareunia Scale (MDS). Dolorimeter (pressure algometer) was employed to assess pressure pain threshold. Diagnosis of Fibromyalgia was based on the 1990 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. Depression status of was assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).
Results: No significant statistical difference was found among both patients and control groups in relation to age, body mass index (BMI). Myalgic score and total tender point score was significantly lower in the dyspareunia group. Tender points score among dyspareunia patients was significantly higher. The
mean score of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was 18.1±6.7 among dyspareunia group diagnosed with fibromyalgia compared to 11.3±4.1 in the dyspareunia group without fibromyalgia
Conclusion: fibromyalgia is a contributing factor to dyspareunia
