Take this Survey on Vaginismus NOW!

This survey by the University of Leicester (UK) is to find out what WOMEN EXPRIENCING VAGINISMUS OR DYSPAREUNIA believe about these conditions; to gather information on the treatments women have experienced and how they feel about these treatments and to examine the relationship of these factors with women's and (where applicable) their partner's beliefs and well-being.

Single women and women whose partners are not taking part are just as vital as participants whose partners would like to be involved. It takes about 20 minutes and you can all help us make the sample big enough it will be worth publishing it.
So come on girls !


The survey address is: https://swww2.le.ac.uk/Members/asa8/kjm34

There's more information at the start. Just click on SPD, then go to the very bottom of the next page, where it says QUESTION DETAILS and click on NEXT to begin .
