Abstract
Introduction: Vaginismus is defined as recurrent or persistent involuntary spasm of the musculature of the lower third of the vagina, which interferes with coitus resulting in matrimonial disharmony. There are many methods described for the management of the condition. But most of times all methods fail to treat such patients. We have developed a newer approach for management of this condition in which spasmodic muscles are incised and resultant defect is resurfaced with Labia Minora Flaps.
Material and method: We have treated fourteen females who were married more than 5 years before and had undergone all types of treatment without success.
Results: All of the females could initiate sexual intercourse within 3 weeks of surgery
Conclusion: Incision of spasmodic muscles and resurfacing with labia minora flaps is one of good option if other treatment had failed, for management of vaginismus.
