Vaginismus and pregnancy
editI found this Swedish study on vaginismus and pregnancy complications from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists that actually found a number of things that correlated with vaginismus and childbirth. Is this within the scope of this article or should it be better added to the articles about certain birth complications? --Donald Trung (talk) 05:37, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
DSM diagnostic criteria
editVaginismus and dyspareunia were previously both listed in the DSM-IV-TR as sexual pain disorders, but there has been a recent separation of the two. It's not super clear what the distinguishing factors are, but this article says fear around sex might be it [1]. Charlottercrane (talk) 03:04, 20 March 2024 (UTC) If so, the fear aspect may be important to include in the "Psychology" section. Its inclusion in the DSM might be too.
Update: findings in a study cited in this article actually suggests that the determining factor for vaginismus rather than dyspareunia was conservative attitudes around sex. This might be relevant to emphasize in the Psychology section.[2]
