Kathleen

Kathleen is a patient who was unable to have sex after getting married. She also later saw the doctors for infertility.

Vaginismus
Kathleen came into the practice with her husband shortly after they were married because during their honeymoon, they found that she was unable to have sex. Addison attempted to do an exam, but was unable to get the speculum into Kathleen's vagina. She prescribed muscle relaxants to treat vaginismus, involuntary spasms in the vagina. Kathleen went home, but was still unable to have sex with her husband, so she returned the next day. Addison then diagnosed vulvar vastivulitis and planned targeted lidocaine injections to treat her. The injections were painful, but Kathleen agreed to have them. She then referred Kathleen to Pete to treat the vaginismus. The next day, Kathleen and Jeffery came into the practice and profusely thanked Addison and Pete for their help. ("In Which Addison Finds the Magic")
