title: [The peripheral sexual response ... from urogynecology to sexology].
abstract: The peripheral sexual response is achieved by the the Clitoro-Urethro-Vaginal Complex who is responsible of the transmission of the sensitive stimulation to the CNS where this information is modulated by the different cerebral areas. These latter will send this message to the peripheral sexual organs using efferent somatic and autonomic pathways able to induce vaso congestive response of clitoridal area with contractions of pelvic floor muscles. Muscles stretch injuries after obstetrical or surgical trauma can decrease the quality of the sexual peripheral response. These modifications of peripheral sexual response have to be evaluated with a specific questionnaire and pelvic floor clinical examination and recently, with a new microsystem device able to record continuously intra-vaginal pressure modifications.
