Vaginismus is a condition where involuntary muscle spasms in the pelvic floor make vaginal penetration painful or impossible. This can occur during intercourse, tampon use, or gynaecological examinations. It is not a physical abnormality but often a response to psychological or emotional factors.

At Dr. Shobha Giresh’s Clinic, we understand that intimate health is vital to a woman’s overall well-being. Vaginismus is a condition that affects many women but can be effectively managed with the right care and support.

Our compassionate approach ensures you receive the treatment you need in a comfortable and respectful environment. The condition may present as primary vaginismus, when penetration has never been possible, or secondary vaginismus, which develops later in life after previously experiencing pain-free penetration.

Common symptoms include pain during penetration, a burning or stinging sensation in the vaginal area, muscle tightness, and anxiety or fear related to sexual intercourse or vaginal exams. Triggers for vaginismus can include fear or anxiety about sexual activity, past trauma or abuse, relationship issues, emotional stress, or underlying medical conditions.

At Dr. Shobha Giresh’s Clinic, we provide a holistic and personalized approach to treating vaginismus. Treatment options may include counselling, pelvic floor therapy, gradual desensitization, and education, empowering women with the knowledge and support they need to overcome this condition.

If you experience consistent pain, fear, or difficulty with vaginal penetration, it’s time to consult a specialist. Vaginismus is treatable, and the sooner you seek help, the better your outcomes will be. Don’t let vaginismus affect your quality of life. Reach out to us for compassionate care and expert solutions.
