This is a condition where women cannot have intercourse without pain, and in severe cases, intercourse may not be possible at all. It is a much more common problem than you might think, affecting one in every 10 women. While anatomical issues related to the genital area and the hymen can be a factor, most cases of vaginismus are rooted in sexual trauma, anxiety, fear, and misconceptions about sexuality.
Vaginismus treatment should be personalized, suited to the degree of vaginismus, and adaptable for couples. Vaginismus can be treated with sexual therapy, specialized exercises, cause-specific surgical procedures, and also with a simple and quick procedure involving Botox injections into the vagina.
If you are experiencing difficulty with intercourse, closing your legs to push your partner away, and not allowing for vaginal penetration, let’s work together to overcome this with a personalized treatment plan just for you.
