This is the first known study in thirty years on the island of Ireland about vaginismus. Vaginismus affects the lives of many women and couples and yet very little information is available about vaginismus. This article contains information about vaginismus, the DCU study and how to get involved in the conversation.

The current DCU study, which is being carried out in conjunction with Dr. Rosaleen McElvaney and Dr. Rita Glover, is seeking to start a conversation about vaginismus in Ireland. Maria McEvoy is currently looking to interview couples who have experienced vaginismus. The study has been approved by the DCU Ethics Committee and all information will be held in the strictest confidence and all identifying information will be completely removed.
