Vaginismus is characterized by painful or impossible vaginal penetrations, pain during sex, and pelvic pain.

It can be caused by fear, anxiety, past trauma, and other factors.

Vaginismus treatment doesn't hurt at all!

Women who seek vaginismus therapy often have questions about vaginismus treatment, whether it is painful, about vaginismus cure, and other vaginismus advice.

Today's topic is how painful is vaginismus treatment?

A common question women have.

We often hear this question from women who inquire about the treatment, whether they call in advance of booking an appointment or when they arrive at the treatment, or when they're on the treatment table before we start the treatment.

And they say, "Will it hurt? How much will it hurt? How will the pain be? Am I going to suffer? Do I have to be on medication before the treatment?

Do I have to worry about performance after the treatment?"

It's a profound concern women have because the vagina has betrayed them, so they feel, and because they have tried to put things in the vagina to sort out the vaginismus and they could not, and it always was a painful experience, so women are very concerned about that.

What is the truth?

The truth is that the treatment in the hand of a qualified vaginismus clinician should not hurt.

There may be some training
sensations, what we call,

some feelings of newness,
of using the vagina,

some discomfort here and there
as you work your way through,

but they should not be
this devastating pain

that will make one disabled for hours

or incapacitated for half a day.

Now let's remember, vaginismus
is a psychosomatic condition.

It is always an expression of anxiety.

When the anxiety resides in
the genitals, in the vagina,

it clenches the vagina
upon attempted penetration

or even the thought of penetration.

So the clinician who guides
you through the program has

to understand that
psychosomatic aspect of it

and has to navigate your anxiety together

with the vaginal function

in order to allow the vagina to open up,

to allow the vagina to welcome
the whatever item is gonna

go into it for training and
for overcoming the vaginismus

will allow the patient to say, "Aha.

If my head is in the right place,

and if I can sort out my anxiety,

my vagina could become rather friendly."

And then of course there is no pain.

Why should there be pain?

The vagina is a natural body part.

It should work automatically.

It should work without discomfort,

barring any other complications

that vaginismus typically
does not bring with it anyway.

So to the question of, how
painful should the treatment be?

How painful will it be?

What should they do about the pain?

Our answer is, based
on thousands of cases:

Trust the process.

Express your concern to your clinician.

That's okay.

They should know you're
worried about that.

Have them navigate you in the
proper way through showing you

that your vagina could be
receiving penetrations.

You can manage you anxiety.

You can free up the vagina

of the anxiety that causes
that anticipatory closure.

And then you'll see that
it does not hurt at all.

On the average, our patients

either don't have any discomfort

or have some training
sensation, some mild discomforts

of training, or they
feel the area chattering

for about 20 minutes after the treatment,

just leftovers of the
nerve ending saying, "Aha.

I felt something different than before."

And that's it.

It's gone.

It's done.

A woman can go on to work, to
a social life, to working out,

to going to sleep, to
whatever she needs to do.

I hope you take your time.

Sort out your resources.

Find a clinician you
feel comfortable with.

Find a clinician who knows what to do

and who knows how to navigate your vagina,

your anxiety, and your vaginismus,

so that your treatment will not be painful

but rather successful,
empowering, and enlightening.
