What is vaginismus, and how does it affect sexual health? - #14739
I recently heard about vaginismus, but I don’t fully understand what it is or how it affects sexual health. I know it involves discomfort during intercourse, but what causes it, and how is it treated? What exactly is vaginismus, and how does it affect the muscles around the vagina? Is it purely a physical issue, or can emotional factors like stress, trauma, or anxiety also play a role? I read that it can cause painful intercourse, but does it also affect other forms of sexual intimacy or gynecological exams? I also want to understand how vaginismus is diagnosed. What treatments are available, and do they include physical therapy, counseling, or medications? Are there natural remedies, such as pelvic floor exercises or Ayurvedic treatments, that help with relaxation and muscle control? If anyone has experienced vaginismus, what was the treatment process like, and did you find it effective? Did you have to seek professional help, or were there at-home remedies that worked?
