Dyspareunia can manifest itself in several ways, so it can be classified by the location, time and nature of the pelvic pain experienced. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether sexual desire will influence the sexual function of women with dyspareunia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is an cross-sectional study. 24 women aged between 18 and 39 years with symptoms of dyspareunia participated. Patients were assessed for pain level using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) and sexual function using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Descriptive statistics and Spearman's correlation coefficient were used to assess the association between the two variables, adopting a significance level of p≤ 0.05. RESULTS: There was a positive and moderate correlation between the desire domain and the total FSFI score, there was no correlation between the EVA and the total FSFI score, there was a positive and moderate correlation between the pain and age domain. CONCLUSION: There was a significant association of decreased desire domain in female sexual response, assessed by the FSFI questionnaire, however, the severity and extent of the consequences of dyspareunia depend on the particularities of each patient's experience.Acesso AbertoDispareuniaDisfunção sexualDesejo sexualFunção sexualDyspareuniaSexual dysfunctionSexual desireSexual functionCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::FISIOTERAPIATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Artigo
