Intercourse-related vaginal pain syndrome: a variant of "vulvar vestibulitis syndrome"?
A case of severe vaginal pain associated with vaginal intercourse and thought to be caused by levator vaginae muscle myalgia is discussed. Both the patient's grandmother and great-grandmother had had identical symptoms; in both of those cases the pain disappeared following the first vaginal delivery of a child.
