Bladder Base Tenderness in the Etiology of Deep Dyspareunia

Bladder base tenderness is present in one‐third of women with pelvic pain, and contributes specifically to the symptom of deep dyspareunia. Bladder base tenderness was also associated with the presence of an abdominal wall trigger point and with pelvic floor tenderness, suggesting a myofascial etiology and/or nervous system sensitization.
