This study explored the experiences of male partners of women with dyspareunia, secondary to provoked vestibulodynia (PVD), who participated in the Multidisciplinary Vulvodynia Program (MVP). Participants were 16 men between 22 and 45 years of age. Data were collected with semi-structured interviews and analyzed for themes. Men were interviewed about (a) the impact of the woman's PVD on themselves; and (b) the impact of the MVP on themselves. Participants experienced negative psychological effects (e.g., guilt) in addition to activating emotions (e.g., frustration). They reported diminished quantity and quality of sex. In the relationship, PVD caused strain, communication challenges, and possibilities for growth. The benefits, perceived by the partner, of the women participating in the treatment program included improvements in knowledge, communication, and psychological and sexual health.
本研究探讨了患有因唤起性外阴疼痛(PVD)引起的性交困难的女性的男性伴侣的体验,这些男性伴侣参加了多学科外阴疼痛项目(MVP)。参与者为 16 名年龄在 22 至 45 岁之间的男性。研究采用半结构化访谈收集数据,并对主题进行分析。男性被问及(a)女性 PVD 对他们自身的影响;以及(b)MVP 对他们自身的影响。参与者经历了负面的心理影响(例如内疚),以及情绪激活(例如沮丧)。他们报告说性行为的数量和质量都有所下降。在这段关系中,PVD 导致了紧张、沟通困难和成长的可能性。伴侣认为,女性参与治疗计划的好处包括知识、沟通以及心理和性健康的改善。
