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.

A combination of behavioural, psychological and pharmacological treatment is important to ensure a good prognosis outcome. |
