Hypnotherapy for Vaginismus: What is Available for Vaginismus?
Article by Denise Douglass
Vaginismus is a term for
a condition in which an attempt to insert something into a woman's vagina causes the muscles surrounding the vagina to tighten, and to clamp shut, making penetration painful for the woman, and frustrating for her partner.
Vaginismus can affect sexual intercourse and gynaecological examinations and even the use of tampons.
Vaginismus is involuntary for the woman, and can be compared to any other reflex action where the body closes up as a reflex.
For vaginismus, although the closing of the vagina is involuntary, it is often due to a learned response to pain, and the woman expects pain, and remembers previous painful experiences, or simply imagines that penetration will be painful, and the vaginismus reflex occurs, but treatment for vaginismus can be very successful for vaginismus.
Woman with vaginismus can get caught in a 'catch 22' situation, for they subconsciously expect, or fear pain, and for them, the muscles can tighten up. If penetration is then attempted, it can be painful simply because the muscles are tight.
Hypnotherapy for Primary Vaginismus
Primary vaginism and vaginismus are the names given to the condition when the woman has never been able to have sexual intercourse.
Primary vaginism and vaginismus is often discovered in the teenage years, and when the girl tries to use tampons, or goes for an internal examination and finds it to be extremely uncomfortable and / or painful.
Hypnotherapy and Secondary Vaginismus
Secondary vaginism and vaginismus is the name given to the condition where the woman has been able to achieve penetration in the past, but for some reason develops vaginismus after some time.
Treatment for vaginismus is often easier for secondary vaginismus than it is for primary vaginismus, simply because the woman is aware that penetration without pain is possible.
