Background: Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a complex condition wich is associated with emotional factors, specially depression and anxiety. Objectives: To make a systematic review to provide a detailed summary of relevant literature on the association between CPP and different psychiatric disorders/symptoms. Methods: A systematic review of articles in the international literature published between 2003 and 2014 was performed in the electronic databases PubMed, PsycINFO, LILACS, and SciELO using the terms (chronic pelvic pain) AND (psychiatry OR psychiatric OR depression OR anxiety OR posttraumatic stress OR somatoform). The searches returned a total of 529 matches that were filtered according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. A total of 18 articles were selected. Results: The investigations focused mainly on the assessment of depression and anxiety disorders/symptoms, with rather high rates (17-38.6%). Depression and anxiety symptoms were more prevalent among women with CPP compared to healthy groups. Comparisons between groups with CPP and with specific pathologies that also have pain as a symptom showed that depression indicators are more frequent in CPP. Depressive symptoms tend to be more common in CPP and have no particular association with pain itself, the core feature of CPP. Discussion: Other aspects of CPP seem to play a specific role in this association. Anxiety and other psychiatric disorders require further investigation so that their impact on CPP can be better understood.

“…Se puede observar un modelo donde en los factores predisponentes y de mantención del vaginismo se aprecian temáticas como los roles sexuales, las conductas evitativas y la ansiedad (28,29,30), la que muchas veces se acepta como la principal causa del vaginismo (15,27,31,32). Se trata de una respuesta condicionada y anticipatoria del dolor, de temor y ansiedad, que se aprecia no sólo respecto de la actividad sexual, sino que puede apreciarse, también, durante la exploración ginecológica, o en la imposibilidad del uso de tampones durante la menstruación, asumiendo tener una vagina más corta y estrecha que las demás mujeres y, especialmente, respecto del largo y diámetro del pene, el espéculo o los tampones (15,16,19,30,31).…”

RESUMENEl vaginismo es una disfunción sexual femenina que genera gran impacto en la relación de pareja. En el presente artículo se busca describir, desde la psicología cognitiva post-racionalista, aquellas características identitarias y de personalidad observadas en 50 mujeres diagnosticadas con vaginismo primario sin antecedentes de alteraciones físicas o ginecológicas y con una historia de vida sin traumas ni abusos sexuales. De acuerdo a lo observado, se trata de mujeres con una positiva visión de sí mismas, que se orientan hacia la consecución del control entre dos necesidades típicamente contrapuestas, la de ser protegidas y la de sentirse libres e independientes. Por ello tienden a centrarse en la regulación de la distancia entre acercamiento y alejamiento respecto de los demás, sobrecontrolando sus emociones. Así, el vaginismo constituiría una forma en la cual se limita la intromisión y la constricción por parte del otro, a la vez que se evita la dependencia del mismo, y se ejerce control sobre el compromiso emocional mediante la no entrega completa de sí misma durante la relación sexual. PALABRAS CLAVE: Vaginismo, disfunción sexual, identidad, post-racionalismo SUMMARYVaginismus is female sexual dysfunction that generates big impact on the relationship. The present article seeks to describe, from the post-rationalist cognitive psychology, those identity and personality characteristics observed in 50 women diagnosed with primary vaginismus without history of physical or gynecological disorders and a history of life without trauma or sexual abuse. According to observations, it is women with a positive view of themselves, which are oriented towards control between two typically conflicting requirements, that of being protected and to feel free and independent. Therefore tend to focus on the regulation of the distance between rapprochement and estrangement from others, overcontrolling their emotions. So, vaginismus constitute a form in which the intrusion is limited and constrained by the other, while avoiding dependence thereof, and exercised control over emotional engagement through full delivery not herself during intercourse.
