Symptom #10: Dyspareunia
Dyspareunia is a term that refers to painful sexual intercourse that can be due to psychological or medical causes. Women with piriformis syndrome can present with dyspareunia, sexual dysfunction, and issues with urination or bowel movements which may be due to the involvement of nerves around the piriformis muscle.
The irritation or compression of the pudendal nerve results in pudendal neuralgia, sexual dysfunction, dyspareunia, defecation issues, and urinary problems.
