Botulinum toxin and urogenital conditions
BJSM, Volume 31, Number 1.

In the summer of 2004, the BBC reported on its website, under the heading ‘Botox could treat sexual disorder’, the results of a little-known study from Iran that had been presented earlier at a European fertility conference in Berlin. Researchers at Tehran University of Medical Sciences had successfully used botulinum toxin to treat vaginismus in 23 women. At the same time, The Daily Telegraph published an online article on the same subject, reporting on the success rate after just the first injection.
