Patient's question:
After cohabitation, the vagina is painful and swollen, feeling uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Vaginismus is a symptom of female sexual dysfunction, primarily referring to the involuntary, intense, and persistent contraction of the vagina and pelvic floor muscles during sexual intercourse, making it impossible for an erect penis to penetrate, or causing pain and discomfort at the vaginal opening or deep within the vagina during or after intercourse. The main approach should focus on eliminating psychological barriers, understanding the principles of sexual knowledge, encouraging both partners to actively participate in treatment, cooperate with each other, and take care of each other. It is also important to correct unhealthy sexual habits and, through emotional communication, learn to cultivate new coordinated sexual behaviors.
