Overcome Vaginismus
Overcome Vaginismus: Is it possible to Overcome Vaginismus?
Article by Denise Douglass
Millions of women all round the world want to know one thing... can you overcome vaginismus?
To overcome vagnismus, we must understand what we are trying to overcome.
Vaginismus is 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. To overcome vagnismus would mean that the woman would be able to have sex.
Vaginismus can affect sexual intercourse and gynaecological examinations and even the use of tampons, and so to overcome vaginismus can have an effect on the woman's health too.
When looking to overcome vaginismus, we must realise that the closing of the vagina is involuntary, it is often due to a learned response to pain.
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, so to overcome vaginismus, we must do something about this 'cycle'.
Overcome 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.
Overcome 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.
To overcome 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.
