Vaginismus refers to the involuntary spasm (contraction or tightening) of vaginal muscles that prevent vaginal penetration. It can lead to difficulty or pain during sexual intercourse or may even prevent it. It can also cause difficulty in inserting a tampon or having a gynaecological examination. Homeopathic medicines for vaginismus are very beneficial for this condition and treat it in a very safe and natural way.
This condition can range from mild discomfort to being very painful. The main muscle involved in it is pubococcygeus. It is of two types primary vaginismus and secondary vaginismus.
In primary vaginismus a woman has never been able to have vaginal penetration from muscle spasms.
In secondary vaginismus (also called acquired vaginismus) a woman had earlier been able to have vaginal penetration but then at some point of the life it started to become difficult, painful or impossible.
The exact reason behind it is not known yet. But anxiety and fear of having sex (fear that vaginal penetration will cause pain) is related to this condition. It can also be related to some sort of emotional stress and anticipation. Other factors that can contribute to it includes relationship issues with partner, history of sexual abuse in past, sexual assault / traumatic events like rape in life, having an abusive partner or certain believes like sex is shameful. Apart from above emotional factors the physical factors that are related to this include vaginal infection like yeast infection, vaginitis, lichen sclerosus (a skin condition in which white patches develops on the skin mostly of genital and anal area. It carries a risk of complication of permanent scar formation in the affected skin area. In women the scar can cause narrowing of vaginal opening). Other than these urinary tract infections (UTI), vaginal dryness, gynaecological surgery, trauma, childbirth and radiation also can lead to vaginismus in some cases. It can also occur after menopause. This is because during the menopause phase there is decline in estrogen levels due to which the vagina gets dry and doesn’t get lubricated well. It can cause difficulty or pain during sex. Sometimes vaginismus happens due to these factors in some women after menopause. In many cases a combination of emotional and physical factors can lead to it. In some cases no reason can be ruled out behind this condition.
In this condition whenever any sort of penetration in vagina is attempted the vaginal muscles tighten involuntarily and women have no control over it. First symptom that females having it complains of is difficult or painful intercourse. Most times it starts when the first attempt at sexual intercourse is tried.
Next, they may have pain during insertion of the tampon. They can also have pain during gynaecological examinations. The severity of condition varies from case to case. It can make vaginal insertion (either penis during intercourse, a tampon, an instrument of vaginal examination like speculum) difficult, painful or even impossible from vaginal muscle constriction. When anything is inserted in vagina a burning or stinging sensation can also occur. Females with this may have fear and anxiety of sexual intercourse. They may have low sexual desire and tend to avoid sex or vaginal penetration. Sometimes there occurs generalized muscle spasms with temporary stoppage of breathing during intercourse.
