Abstract
Women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome with a nonsurgically created neovagina showed a weaker vaginal blood flow response during visual sexual stimulation and poorer basal blood flow compared with control subjects. The differences in vaginal blood flow may be related to less vascularization and innervation of the neovagina compared with the natal vagina. The weaker vaginal sexual response can play a role in sexual dysfunction; however, despite the weaker vaginal response, women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome did not differ in their level of subjective sexual arousal. Future studies may compare vaginal blood flow and subjective sexual response of women with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome with nonsurgically and surgically created vaginas.
