Overview
There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of dyspareunia.However,Diagnosis Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) dyspareunia and vaginismus were typically classified as distinct sexual pain disorders.This new classification unifies vaginismus and dyspareunia into one category called “genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder” due to the clinical difficulties to distinguishing these condition.
