What is Vaginismus?
Vaginismus, usually confused by a large number of women of all ages as ‘Vaginismis’ or ‘Vaginism’ is a disorder where there is vaginal tightness which leads to pain, burning and total discomfort within the vaginal area. This makes a female unable to have any type of vaginal penetration. It is said that 2 out of every thousand females encounter Vaginismus at some point or another in their life. This disorder typically occurs due to the involuntary reflex actions in the pubococcygeus muscles or PC muscles. Because of this reflex, the muscles inside the vagina become tensed and make virtually any vaginal penetration very painful and in some cases unachievable. Due to this, a woman suffers from several difficulties in having sexual intercourse.
