Women with CAIS may also have vaginal hypoplasia, clitoral hypoplasia, and psychological factors that might contribute to sexual dysfunction; there is no published data on the prevalence of these factors in CAIS. We used a structured genital examination to assess the prevalence of clitoral and vagi...
