Vaginismus
Overcoming Vaginismus with Expert Care at Indigo Women's Center
Understanding Vaginismus: A Treatable Condition
Vaginismus is a condition characterized by involuntary tightness of the vagina during attempted intercourse, insertion of tampons, or even during a gynecological exam, making these experiences painful or impossible. It affects approximately 1 in 500 women globally, with an estimated 6-12% of the female population experiencing it at some point. Despite its prevalence, vaginismus is often misunderstood and underreported, especially in cultures where premarital sex is taboo, leading many women to suffer in silence.
Causes of Vaginismus
The exact cause of vaginismus is multifactorial, involving psychosocial, cultural, and relational factors. It often stems from a cycle of pain, anxiety, and fear, leading to involuntary pelvic floor muscle tightening. This cycle can be exacerbated by misconceptions and lack of proper treatment, underscoring the importance of early intervention and comprehensive care.
Breaking the Cycle: Comprehensive Treatment at Indigo Women's Center
Indigo Women’s Center adopts a multidisciplinary approach to treating vaginismus, involving gynecologists, psychologists, and neurologists to address the condition holistically. Our treatment protocol includes:
