“…The identification process of a child with their parents will make children have similar thoughts and values to their parents [12,21]. This certainly needs serious attention because it might affect efforts to seek treatment if one experiences sexual problems [22].…”

“…The mother is viewed as a weak figure by the children, who regard men as dominant figures [12]. Meanwhile, the father is a dominant figure, overly controlling, overly protective, and moralistic, and he has an unfavorable relationship with the mother [12,13,21]. Patients with vaginismus typically have submissive personalities, are unable to express their emotions, and subconsciously believe that their emotions cannot be tolerated, making them feel insecure if they are more open, either physically or emotionally.…”

Background: The prevalence of vaginismus ranges from 1-6%, and the ratio becomes 5%-17% in clinical setting, although it varies widely worldwide. The main cause of vaginismus is not known, but is often considered multifactorial. This paper aims to describe the factors that contribute to vaginismus. Case: A 26 years old, married woman, health practitioner presented with the complaint of not being able to have sexual intercourse. About 1 month ago, since marriage, the patient was unable to have sexual intercourse with her husband. The patient feels guilty and anxious because of the inability to please her husband. The patient's father was very dominant and was a "religious" type of parent who always gave advice with religious aspects regarding all matters. The patient's mother was a nervous person and always said that what the father said was a law that had to be obeyed. Likewise, talk about sex is a taboo topic of discussion and is considered embarrassing. Discussion: Many factors need to be explored related vaginismus. In the case, the biological aspect can be ruled out because the patient has consulted with the ob-gyn doctor. from the psychological aspect; perceptions, attitudes and attitudes towards sex and the values held by parents contribute to vaginismus in this patient. Conclusion: a therapeutic approach which focuses on all aspects promises quite good therapeutic outcomes.

“…Optou-se, neste trabalho, por analisar em profundidade os dados obtidos a partir do PDE-Tema por conta da versatilidade e riqueza desse material (Aiello-Vaisberg, 1997), compreendendo que o procedimento, por abranger a produção de um desenho e uma história, "já atende, por si só, à necessidade de registro do material de pesquisa" (Aiello-Vaisberg, Ambrosio, & Visintin, 2017, p. 41). Os dados obtidos por meio das entrevistas foram analisados em trabalhos anteriores (Silva, Sei, & Vieira, 2021;Silva, Sei, & Vieira, 2022).…”

Resumo Considerando que experienciar uma disfunção sexual afeta profundamente a autopercepção e a qualidade de vida, este estudo almejou compreender a experiência de viver com vaginismo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa empírica, qualitativa, de caráter exploratório, em que participaram nove mulheres diagnosticadas em algum período da vida com vaginismo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semidirigidas e do procedimento de desenhos-estórias com o tema “Vaginismo”, sendo que, neste trabalho, destaca-se a análise dos desenhos e histórias devido à riqueza deste instrumento. O material foi interpretado em conjunto possibilitando a construção de três categorias temáticas: “Representações: o vaginismo como protagonista”, “O percurso e a história de vida: os diferentes momentos do vaginismo” e “A solidão e os relacionamentos”. Os resultados apontaram para diferentes percepções do vaginismo de acordo com o momento do tratamento, destacando-se a longa duração dos sintomas e o árduo processo de viver com esta disfunção.
