Vaginitis in the Context of an Uncommon Parasomnia: A Case Report.

Sexsomnia is a rare, male-predominant, non-rapid eye movement parasomnia characterized by complex sexual behaviors occurring without conscious awareness during sleep. The biopsychosocial consequences of sexsomnia on both those diagnosed and their bed partners have not yet been fully elucidated. We present the case of an adult, a heterosexual female who developed vaginitis following sexual intercourse that occurred secondary to her partner's diagnosed sexsomnia. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of gynecological pathology occurring because of sexsomnia, and it serves to highlight the importance of thorough history-taking and the need for further research on the effects of sexsomnia on both parties involved.
