AB  - A  23-year-old  woman  presents  with  the  inability  to  have  intercourse.  She  had  no  problems  with  her  first  partner  when  she  was  16  years  old,  although  this  relationship  ended  six  months  later.  Because  she  was  sexually  active  her  general  practitioner  performed  a  cervical  smear  for  her  when  she  was  17  years  old.  She  found  this  excruciatingly  painful.  It  was  suggested  that  the  pain  was  due  to  a  retroverted  uterus  and  she  has  not  attended  for  a  smear  since,  despite  numerous  reminders.  She  has  been  unable  to  have  intercourse  with  two  partners  subsequently,  despite  feeling  aroused,  and  is  concerned  that  her  current  relationship  will  end.What  physical  conditions  need  to  be  considered  before  a  diagnosis  of  vaginismus  can  be  made?What  factors  are  associated  with  vaginismus?What  are  the  aims  of  treatment?How  are  these  aims  achieved?
