Abstract
Dyspareunia is a condition associated with a wide range of disorders. Pelvic floor dysfunction, manifesting as a myofascial syndrome or pelvic floor muscle hypertonia, may predict dyspareunia in women in different age groups. The review addresses the current view on the dyspareunia pathogenesis associated with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.
