Vaginismus Montreal

Vaginismus is a condition in women characterized by difficulty in achieving penetration or discomfort during penetration due to involuntary contractions of vaginal muscles. Some women’s symptoms are so severe that they avoid any sexual contact; others may have satisfying sexual experiences through extensive foreplay leading to orgasm without penetration.

Causes of vaginismus

• Vaginismus is often the result of physical or sexual abuse that causes a phobic reaction at the prospect of vaginal penetration.
• Other causes may include painful first intercourse, relationship problems, fear of pregnancy, rape, religious orthodoxy, or the woman’s belief that her vagina is too small. It has been suggested that a woman experiencing psychological conflict may indirectly express anger toward her partner by closing off her vagina.

Treatment of vaginismus

The client learns specific exercises for relaxing the muscles around the vagina and systematic desensitization of the vagina in order to be able to control her vaginal muscle spasm while gently introducing inserters of gradually increasing size into her vagina. The success rate is fairly high for women who complete the program
