The definition, etiology, and treatments for frigidity, dyspareunia, and dysmenorrhea are summarized. Frigidity is an absence or lack of sexual pleasure sometimes to the extent of lack of orgasm. It can be due to fear, unresolved oedipal complex, anger, or depression. Psychotherapy is helpful, with antidepressants if appropriate. Dyspareunia is vaginal pain during sexual relations, and derives from the same types of psychological problems as frigidity. Dysmenorrhea can be related to conscious or unconscious rejection of the role of woman or mother. It is treated by psychotherapy. The sexual problems that are relieved easily by physical techniques or education are minor, while those deep in the personality and sustained by psychological mechanisms are major. Female sexual dysfunctions related to the female role are frigidity, dyspareunia, and vaginismus; those associated with the maternal role are dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, false pregnancy, vomiting in pregnancy, sterility, and sponaneous abortion.

Changes in the external and internal cervical os after vaginal administration of a suppository containing 1 mg of 15-methyl prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) were differentiated in this study of 19 pregnant women prior to a 1st trimester pregnancy termination. Mean age of the women was 20.6 +or- .99, mean parity was .68 +or- .2, and mean gravidity was 2.32 +or- .54. Pregnancies averaged 10 weeks duration. Cervical dilatation before administration averaged 6.89 +or- .45 mm in the external os and 3.37 +or- .43 in the internal os; compared to 10 +or- .44 mm in the external os and 8.05 +or- .57 mm in the internal os 3 hours after administration of suppositories. Mean additional dilatation prior to the procedure was 1.84 +or- .43 mm. 74% of the women experienced diarrhea, 37% had vomiting, 27% cramps, 21% nausea, 26% vaginal pain, and 26% bleeding prior to the procedure. The greater dilatation of the internal os found in the study is comparable to the behavior of the cervix in the uterus near term when lower segment changes often precede the dilatation of the external os.
