ABSTRACT
The dyspareunia is defined as “pain during intercourse” produced by various causes, one of them, the inflammation that can result from trauma and infections among others. Among the infections are bacterial cocci of various species,
Gardnerella, yeast, mainly Candida or parasites such as
Trichomonas vaginalis. The objective of the present study was evaluating the association between dyspareunia and the cervico-vaginal infection. We performed cervical and vaginal cytology (Papanicolaou) to open population of sexually active patients who attended the program on Early Detection of Cancer, receiving 740 patients between January 2003 to December 2008. The patients underwent gynecological examination and samples were processed by the train modified Papanicolaou stain for microscopic diagnosis. Total cases of dyspareunia was 101, 94 women had dyspareunia infection, 582 patients had infection, dyspareunia, frequency of coccal flora dyspareunia was associated with 15.1%, the fungus was 16.09% and
Trichomonas vaginalis was 26.22%. Dyspareunia frequency (13.64%) in the studied patients is not significant, in the present study the more frequent infectious agents were, fungi and
Trichomonas vaginalis.
