Abstract

This case discussion on urethral coitus in Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome shows that this rare syndrome can have major physical and psychological consequences. Further consideration shows that a lack of common sense and a lack of action concerning sexual history-taking and careful vulvar examination is the reason that an iatrogenic sexual problem arose in this case. This was not the result of the initial denial of a rare diagnosis. Both attention to these aspects during training and supervision are necessary, since other disorders and medical treatments can also have a negative impact on sexuality.
