Vaginismus. This is a problem that is not talked about out loud.Moreover, this problem is rarely addressed to a doctor - it is so delicate. Meanwhile, if a woman has vaginismus, treatment must be started immediately. In order for treatment to be started in a timely manner, a woman must clearly understand what is happening to her and not miss the first alarming symptoms indicating that there are certain problems. What is vaginismus? Doctors give the following definition: vaginismus is an involuntary spasmodic contraction of all the muscles of the pelvic floor, as well as the muscles of the vestibule of the vagina and its lower third. These contractions occur at the moment of an attempt to insert the penis into the vagina. From a psychological point of view, this process is nothing more than a reflex defense against the invasion of a foreign body. And it is necessary to look for the causes of vaginismus, as a rule, in the woman's mind. That is why, when deciding how to treat vaginismus, a woman simply needs to contact a sexologist. If a woman has vaginismus, the symptoms will be as follows:
- During an attempt to insert a penis into the vagina, a sharp spasm occurs, and the woman feels a sharp sharp pain.
- When trying to gynecologic examination on the armchair with the help of mirrors, the same situation occurs.
- A woman experiences difficulties when using hygiene tampons. When trying to insert a tampon into the vagina, the woman also feels muscle spasms and pain, although less severe.
Doctors believe that if a woman has vaginismus, the reasons areshould be looked for deep in the subconscious. Most often, the cause of vaginismus is the first sexual intercourse. If a woman is very afraid of the pain associated with the process of defloration, she subconsciously seeks to avoid it. This is what explains the spasms of the vagina. In such a case, advice on how to get rid of vaginismus is only one: a man should show tolerance and understanding. Only in this case is it possible to overcome a woman's fears of sexual intimacy. However, if a man was overly persistent, was rude, and the process of defloration still occurred, and even if it is very painful, the situation is significantly aggravated. And in such a situation, such a task as getting rid of vaginismus becomes almost impossible on your own, without the intervention of a gynecologist and sexologist. A psychologist will do the necessary work with a woman, find out whether this is true vaginismus and the reasons for its occurrence. In some cases, the problem goes back to adolescence, and even childhood. After all, psychological trauma can be caused by anything:
- Accidentally seen in childhood sexual intercourseparents. He can cause a serious psychological trauma to the fragile child's psyche, because the child does not understand what is happening and why his beloved mother screams.
- Puritan education of the girl. If the mother inspires the girl from childhood that all men are not worthy, and in adolescence suggests that sex is an unpleasant duty and dirt, such education will certainly turn into serious psychological problems for the girl in the future.
- Getting knowledge about the sexual aspect of life from peers, from pornographic literature and films.
In addition, as psychologists say, the mostvaginismus symptoms are often observed in women with a weak mental type and the presence of obsessive phobias of water, heights, darkness, etc. As a rule, such women need psychological correction of their consciousness. Vaginismus how to treat depends on the extent to which it is expressed. There are three degrees of vaginismus:
Whatever the degree of vaginismus, a womantreats sex as a duty and experiences outright fear of it. With a mild degree of vaginismus, a woman and a man may not even suspect the existence of a problem, it is just that the woman will subconsciously strive to avoid sexual intercourse in every possible way. However, in such cases, women, at first glance, live a full life and even give birth to children. It should be noted that vaginismus after childbirth goes away on its own. During the process of childbirth, the cervix relaxes, and the vaginal muscles stretch. Of course, after a few months they will return to their previous state, but this time, as a rule, is enough for a woman to stop feeling afraid of sexual intercourse. In addition, another important reason for the disappearance of vaginismus after childbirth is self-esteem, which increases after the birth of a child in any woman. However, vaginismus is very often confused with pseudo-vaginismus. Very often there is such a concept as bacterial vaginismus. In this case, the pain is caused by inflammatory processes on the vaginal mucosa. This, as well as adhesions and developmental defects of the reproductive system, cause pseudo-vaginismus. In this case, if a woman has signs of bacterial vaginismus, treatment should be performed not by a psychologist, but by a gynecologist. In addition, before deciding how to cure vaginismus, the doctor must differentiate it from the so-called fear of sexual intercourse without contraction of the vaginal muscles. To do this, a woman should visit a gynecologist. Some doctors advise women who have vaginismus to do exercises aimed at developing the vaginal muscles. However, with vaginismus, such exercises can only aggravate the existing problem, since the spasms of trained muscles will be even stronger. It is much more reasonable not to suffer over the question of how to cure vaginismus, but at the first symptoms of the problem to seek qualified help. If a woman notes difficulty in using tampons or during sexual intercourse, she should immediately contact a sexologist, and in his absence, a gynecologist. Unfortunately, some gynecologists do not notice the obvious problem and deny the existence of such a phenomenon as vaginismus. In this case, you should not give up, but contact another doctor who knows what vaginismus is and how to treat this unpleasant disease. As a rule, vaginismus treatment is always quite successful, although it can take quite a long time - from one to three months. Gradually, the woman's sexual function will be completely restored. Most often, sexual arousal appears first, followed by vaginal lubrication. However, to successfully get rid of the existing problem, the help and understanding of the sexual partner is very important. A man, in order to prevent a relapse of the disease, should in no case rush things. We advise you to read:
