What is vaginismus

Patient's question:

Divorced for about half a year, every time my husband touches my vaginal opening, I experience excruciating pain, even breaking into a cold sweat, causing vaginal spasms and making penetration impossible. I've tried adjusting my emotions, but it hasn't gone away. I don't know what vaginal spasms are, and I'm very upset, but I really want a baby. What kind of help do I need: What are vaginal spasms?

Doctor's answer:

Vaginismus is a symptom of female sexual dysfunction, primarily referring to the uncontrolled, intense, and persistent tightening of the vagina and pelvic floor muscles during sexual intercourse, making it impossible for an erect penis to penetrate, or causing pain and discomfort in the vaginal opening or deep within the vagina during or after intercourse. The foundation should be the complete elimination of psychological barriers, understanding the principles of sexual knowledge, encouraging both partners to actively participate in treatment, cooperate with each other, and take initiative in caring for one another. It is also important to correct unhealthy sexual habits and, through emotional communication and practice, cultivate new coordinated sexual behaviors.
