Program of exercises and counsels for Vaginismus
Do you find it difficult - impossible to have an intercourse? Do you feel something like a spasm in your vagina that impides penetration? Is it difficult for the gynaecologist to explore you? Has your couple told you he has problems to get inside your vagina?
Congratulations! Recognizing your problem is the first step to overcome it, and although vaginismus affects a high number of women, it can be solved with an appropriate guide in the vast majority of cases.
Vaginismus is a condition which affects a woman's ability to engage in any form of vaginal penetration, including sexual intercourse, insertion of tampons, and the penetration involved in gynecological examinations. This is the result of a conditioned reflex of the pubococcygeus (PC) muscle. The reflex causes the muscles in the vagina to tense suddenly, which makes any kind of vaginal penetration -including sexual intercourse- either painful or impossible.
Primary vaginismus occurs when a woman has never been able to have penetrative sex or experience any kind of vaginal penetration without pain. It is commonly discovered in teenagers and women in their early twenties, as this is when many young women in the Western world will initially attempt to use tampons, have some form of penetrative sex, or undergo a Papanicolau test.
Secondary vaginismus occurs when a woman who has previously been able to achieve penetration develops vaginismus. This may be due to physical causes such as a yeast infection or trauma during childbirth, or it may be due to psychological causes. The treatment for secondary vaginismus is the same as for primary vaginismus, although, in these cases, previous experience with successful penetration can assist in a more rapid resolution of the condition.
