What Vaginismus Really Is
Vaginismus is an involuntary muscle contraction of the pelvic floor muscles that makes vaginal penetration difficult or impossible.
It is a reflexive protective response, not a conscious choice.
Common Symptoms:
1. Pain or discomfort with penetration (intercourse, tampons, medical exams)
2. Burning or tightness in the vaginal area
3. Fear, anxiety, or avoidance of penetration
4. Difficulty inserting fingers or medical devices
Types of Vaginismus:
Primary Vaginismus: Present since first attempt at penetration
Secondary Vaginismus: Develops after a period of normal sexual function, often due to pain, trauma, or medical conditions
Prevalence: 5-17% of women experience vaginismus worldwide
