What are the symptoms of vaginismus?

Patient's question:

31 years old this year, I don't know what symptoms there are. Every time I have sex with my husband, my vagina feels uncomfortable during the movement. Please ask; what are the symptoms of vaginismus?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginismus is a symptom of female sexual dysfunction, primarily characterized by involuntary, intense, and persistent tightening of the vaginal and pelvic floor muscles during intercourse, making it impossible for an erect penis to penetrate or causing pain and discomfort in the vaginal opening or deeper during or after intercourse. Most cases of vaginismus are triggered by psychological factors, while some are normal physiological phenomena. However, when it becomes excessive, it can be pathological. It is recommended to seek medical examination. If necessary, vaginal dilation therapy can be performed.
