Vaginismus
https://www.vaginismus.com/

Vaginismus is a condition where there is involuntary tightness of the vagina during attempted
intercourse. The tightness is actually caused by involuntary contractions of the
pelvic floor muscles
surrounding the vagina. The woman does not directly control or 'will' the tightness to occur; it is an
involuntary pelvic response. She may not even have any awareness that the muscle response is
causing the tightness or penetration problem.
In some cases vaginismus tightness may begin to cause burning, pain, or stinging during intercourse.
In other cases, penetration may be difficult or completely impossible. Vaginismus is the main cause of
unconsummated relationships
. The tightness can be so restrictive that the opening to the vagina is
'closed off' altogether and the man is unable to insert his penis. The pain of vaginismus ends when the
sexual attempt stops, and usually intercourse must be halted due to pain or discomfort.
Vaginismus is highly treatable. Successful vaginismus treatment does not require drugs, surgery,
hypnosis, nor any other complex invasive technique. Effective treatment approaches combine pelvic
floor control exercises, insertion or dilation training, pain elimination techniques, transition steps, and
exercises designed to help women identify, express and resolve any contributing emotional
components.
