How To Effectively Treat Vaginismus
Vaginismus is a condition many individuals don't know about, but it affects a great deal of the population. This medical condition has an effect on a woman's ability to withstand vaginal penetration. Manual penetration, sexual intercourse, insertion of menstrual cups and tampons, and gynecological examinations can all be affected through the condition. Vaginismus occurs when the vaginal muscle spasms involuntarily, which causes all vaginal penetration to become either painful or impossible. There is no evidence currently available to explain which specific muscle causes the contraction, though a variety of muscles are suspected to be the root cause. Women with vaginismus do not have conscious control over the muscle spasm. The vagina reflexively spasms, similarly to how an eye will close when it senses an object moving toward it. The severity of the spasm and subsequent pain varies widely from patient to patient.
