Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The muscle spasms around the vestibule during attempted penetration described in the scenario are characteristic of vaginismus, making option D the best choice. Option A refers to painful intercourse, but does not necessarily involve muscle spasms. Option B, anodyspareunia, refers to pain during anal intercourse, not vaginal intercourse. Option C, priapism, is a condition in which a penis remains erect for an extended period of time and is not relevant to the scenario.
