Vaginismus
VAGINISMUS
Vaginismus is a sexual problem in which the lower muscles of the vagina tighten or spasm involuntarily so as to make penetration difficult or impossible. At the same time other involuntary muscular reactions sometimes occur: the adductor muscles of the legs draw the thighs together, the back arches and the hands come down in a protective manner to shield the vagina.
The causes of vaginismus may be physical but it is most often a psychosomatic problem, induced by a fear of penetration, despite the fact that in many cases the woman desires to have sexual intercourse. Poor sex education, adherence to religious beliefs which frown on sexual freedom, traumatic experiences such as incest or rape, painful gynaecological examinations, can all be factors. Years of unsatisfying sex may cause a woman to eventually lose all interest and vaginismus may result.
Dryness, ulceration or inflammation of the vagina resulting in pain may also cause an avoidance response to penetration. If vaginismus persists after the physical problem clears up, it may be that an association has developed between intercourse and pain.
Sexual counselling or therapy is often successful in overcoming this problem. Learning relaxation techniques or using natural therapies such as Bach Flower Remedies may be of assistance.
