It may also be defined as primary if present since first attempts at intercourse and secondary if it has arisen later. In many cases no organic cause is found but in some there are specific conditions such as infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, tumours, endometriosis or a fixed retroverted uterus.\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nAuthor information\nAuthors and Affiliations\nEditor information\nEditors and Affiliations\nRights and permissions\nCopyright information\n© 1996 Springer-Verlag London Limited\nAbout this chapter\nCite this chapter\nStabile, I., Chard, T., Grudzinskas, G.
