Vaginismus (English): All you need to know

#vaginalhealth #vaginalcare #sexualhealth
For some women, the vaginal muscles involuntarily contract when they attempt vaginal penetration.
This is called vaginismus.
The contractions can prevent sexual intercourse or make it impossible.
Vaginismus is a treatable disorder.
Education typically involves learning about your anatomy and what happens during sexual arousal and intercourse.
This can help you understand how the parts of the body work and how your body is responding.
It’s important to remember that there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Talking with your partner about your feelings and fears about intercourse may help you .
Involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles is the primary symptom of vaginismus.
If you have vaginismus, you can’t manage or stop the contractions of your vaginal muscles.
Women with vaginismus often report a burning or stinging pain when anything is inserted into the vagina.
In general, diagnosis and treatment of vaginismus require a pelvic exam.
It’s common for women with vaginismus to be nervous or fearful about pelvic exams.
It’s not your fault, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
