Abstract
Definition of vaginismus which had been done by Sims in 1861 as vaginal spasm hindering sexual intercourse has virtually not been changed up-to-date. Medical knowledge about vaginismus has been formed according to opinions of experienced clinicians focused on this area rather than being evidence-based. Difficulties of studying with human sexuality contributed to higher importance of opinions of experienced clinicians. Although there is limited number of studies, prevalence of vaginismus was reported 1-6% in general population and 5-17% among admissions to sexual dysfunction outpatient clinics. Vaginismus has been reported to be the most prevalent reason of admissions to women‟s sexual dysfunction units by 43–75.9% rates
