Women with symptoms of vaginitis, but no microbial etiology for their condition (the experimental group) were compared to women with symptoms and abnormal findings on examination, women with no symptoms and abnormal findings on examination, and women with no symptoms and normal findings on examination. Comparison was on a variety of measures of personality, marital satisfaction, and sexual function. All women were found to have normal personality structure as measured by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). However, the experimental group differed from the others in their objective sexual function, subjective level of enjoyment, and the extent to which they were affected by their vaginal symptoms.
有阴道炎症状但未发现微生物病因的女性（实验组）与有症状且检查有异常发现的女性、无症状但检查有异常发现的女性以及无症状且检查结果正常的女性进行了比较。比较内容包括多种个性、婚姻满意度和性功能指标。通过明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）测量发现，所有女性的人格结构均正常。然而，实验组在客观性功能、主观愉悦程度以及受阴道症状影响的程度方面与其他组不同。
