Abstract(s)

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (1) identifies four specific types of female sexual dysfunction: female sexual interest/arousal disorder, orgasm disorder, genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder, and substance or medication-induced sexual dysfunction. Physiotherapy seems to have a crucial role in the management of these dysfunctions, particularly in sexual pain disorders, offering a range of interventions customized to specific patient needs. This study aimed to investigate the physiotherapy interventions performed in women with genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorders and their effects on symptoms and quality of life.
