Vaginismus is an automatic bodily response triggered by the fear of vaginal penetration. These contractions can hinder sexual intercourse or cause significant pain. While vaginismus doesn’t interfere with sexual arousal, it can obstruct penetration.
This condition may manifest either during the initial attempt at vaginal penetration or develop later, often following physical or emotional trauma. Even individuals who have experienced successful intercourse in the past may develop vaginismus.
Symptoms of vaginismus vary from severe to mild. In severe cases, vaginal penetration becomes impossible, making routine gynaecological care such as pelvic exams challenging. Moreover, it can create intimacy and emotional issues within sexual relationships.
Fortunately, treatment for vaginismus can yield positive outcomes. JOGO can assist in devising a personalised treatment plan tailored to the severity of your symptoms and your comfort level.
