Dispaurenia after perineoplasty (follow up)

For those who do not remember the case.

A patient was submitted to a perineoplasty for non specific reason in November 1998. Few months after the surgery, she had sexual intercourse and experienced dispareunia. A tender point was found during the physical exam.

The list suggested to infiltrate some lidocaine into the tender point.

I tried this, but, during the next exam, the spot wasn't so define. I injected few ml of lidocaine around the area, and the pain disappeared.

Suggested to use lidocaine gel before sexual intercourse and use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). She said that while she was using NSAID she was ok, the lidocaine gel did not work. She stopped the NSAID and the pain returned.

Suggestions are welcome

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
