A man with hypospadias tells the nurse, 'Intercourse with my new bride is painful.' Which term applies to the patient's complaint?

  • A. Dyspareunia
  • B. Erectile dysfunction
  • C. Premature ejaculation
  • D. Genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder. This term is applicable because it specifically refers to pain experienced during intercourse, which aligns with the patient's complaint. Hypospadias can lead to difficulties in penetration and subsequent pain during intercourse.

Choice A: Dyspareunia refers to persistent or recurrent pain during sexual intercourse, which is a broader term than what the patient is experiencing.

Choice B: Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection, which is not directly related to the patient's complaint of pain during intercourse.

Choice C: Premature ejaculation is the early release of semen during sexual activity, which is unrelated to the pain experienced by the patient during intercourse.
