Vaginismus Treatment

If you are dealing with vaginismus, you're not alone! Neither do you have to try and fix it in silence or shame. Here are some of the types of vaginismus that we help you overcome, without leaving your home!

The different types of Vaginismus

Primary Vaginismus- vaginal insertion of any kind or first time attempts with penetrative sex have always been impossible or extremely painful. You may have noticed tampons were painful or impossible at the age of 12 when preparing to go swim. Or you likely discovered your vaginismus on the night of your wedding or your first attempts with sex.

Secondary Vaginismus- initial comfort and painless penetration with sudden loss of one's ability to achieve penetration. This may happen after: a traumatic birth or pregnancy, after experiencing sexual trauma, after recurrent painful vaginal infections, or after prolonged sexual inactivity or hormonal insufficiences. 

Situational Vaginismus- pain free vaginal insertion in one situation (like pelvic exams or sex) but inability to insert one's finger or inability to achieve tampon insertion.

Why sex feels like hitting a wall, your vagina is too small, or that like a ring of burning pain at the opening? The physical barriers to vaginismus.

If you are feeling safe, have enjoyed foreplay, and are using lubricant- and still feel like sex is blocked OR that penetration is completely impossible, then you are experiencing the physical and pelvic floor muscle barriers to pleasurable sex. These barriers generally require physical interventions to fix them!

This is due to significant pelvic floor tightness that can can make the vagina feel small, barely there, and of corse- extremely painful with insertion. This can be reversed! By using effective and evidenced based pelvic floor treatment - that usually includes pelvic floor relaxation exercises, education, and hands on methods to release pelvic pain and pelvic floor tightness. We have worked with hundreds of our clients to help them overcome their vaginismus and restore their confidence! You can do the same and go on to have buttery, pain free sex with the one you love! 

If you are looking for 1 on 1 professional support to get past this, we are here to help! 

How do I know if my vaginismus is due to a mental block and not a physical barrier?

Due to the significant emotional distress, isolation, self insecurities, and shame that vaginismus may cause- getting mental health support is honestly an avenue that everyone with vaginismus should pursue. But if you are experiencing flashbacks of sexual trauma, feel like you are shutting your thighs before an attempt at penetration due to fear of pain, or if you go into panic before intercourse attempts, you should consider seeing a mental health therapist to help you through these feelings.
