We report a case of primary vaginismus that benefited from the treatment protocol we will outline in this article. This case is representative of many cases we have successfully treated with this protocol. We then review the broader protocol of assessment, diagnosis, and the treatment of vaginismus with dilation, medication, psychotherapy, and sex education.
