Patient's question:
These past few days, I don't know what's going on, I feel like my vagina keeps having spasms in waves. It only happens when I have sex with my husband, and I don't know what's wrong. Recently, this condition has been recurring frequently, making me very uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Vaginismus is a psychophysiological syndrome that affects a woman's sexual response ability, also known as sexual intercourse fear syndrome. During sexual intercourse, involuntary reflexive spasms occur in the muscles around the vagina, tightly closing the vaginal opening and preventing sexual intercourse. The causes include organic and psychological factors. It can be addressed by learning correct sexual knowledge, correcting misconceptions about sexual intercourse, and overcoming nervousness. When necessary, under the guidance of a professional doctor in a hospital, vaginal dilators can be used for systematic desensitization therapy.
