Vaginal stenosis is an abnormal condition in which the vagina becomes narrower and shorter due to the formation of fibrous tissue.[1][2] Vaginal stenosis can contribute to sexual dysfunction, dyspareunia and make pelvic exams difficult and painful.[1] The lining of the vagina may also be thinner and drier and contain scar tissue. This condition can result in pain during sexual intercourse or a pelvic exam. Vaginal stenosis is often caused by radiation therapy to the pelvis, an episiotomy,[3] or other forms of surgical procedures.[4][5][6] Chemotherapy can also increase the likelihood of developing vaginal stenosis.[7] Vaginal stenosis can also result from genital reconstructive surgery in people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.[8]
