Abstract:
Vaginismus is a sexual dysfunction which results from vaginal musculature spasm
and makes the penetration almost impossible. It is commonly associated with
significant emotional distress. On several occasions, fear of pain during sexual
intercourse may perpetuate the sexual dysfunction. We report a case of primary
vaginismus that was associated with psychiatric squeale of anxiety and depression
psychopathology. It suggests that psychological problems related to a mentalhealth
problem in vaginismus should be dealt adequately for a holistic approach.
A combination of behavioural, psychological and pharmacological treatment is
important to ensure a good prognosis outcome.
