The Varying Degrees Of Vaginismis Symptoms

Vaginismis (or vaginismus) is the involuntary contraction of the muscles in the vagina. This involuntary contraction ‘closes off’ the vaginal opening thereby making any kind of vaginal penetration painful and in some cases even impossible. There are many different symptoms that a woman suffering from vaginismus might observe in her condition and there is a lot of variations in these symptoms. These variations depend heavily on the causes, types, complications and the overall health of the woman. However, no matter how severe the symptoms are, they are easily treated if the woman follows a proper treatment program. Also, it is important to note that the symptoms of vaginismus vary from woman to woman. For instance, one woman with vaginismsus may be able to insert fingers into her vagina whereas other might not even be able to touch her vagina due to pain.

The symptoms of vaginismus may range from minor discomfort or tightness of the vagina to a complete closure of the vaginal opening. This complete closure of the vaginal opening makes any kind of penetration painful. If you are one of the women suffering from vaginismus then it is essential that you know the intensity, severity and the variation of symptoms. Some of the varying degrees of vaginismus symptoms are mentioned below:

• Some women might experience a burning sensation while having sex but it may diminish within days. Also, some women might experience a persistent burning sensation around the vaginal region

• In some women, there is a complete closure of the vaginal opening and this makes any kind of vaginal penetration difficult and in some cases even impossible

• Some women may also experience spasms in the legs, back, lower back and other muscles while having sexual intercourse

• Some women may not feel like having sex and may avoid any kind of sexual activity due to fear of experiencing pain

• Some women may be able to insert a tampon into their vagina whereas some may find it difficult to insert their own fingers into the vagina.

• Some women may also experience burning sensations and stinging whereas some might experience only tightness

• Some women are able to have partial insertion of the penis but not without experiencing pain and difficulty

• A large number of women suffering from vaginismus are unable to insert anything into the vagina and find having sexual intercourse almost next to impossible

• Some women are able to insert a penis but without movement as the woman experiences severe pain

• Some women suffering from vaginismus may also become anxious simply by seeing a needle or any other pointed object

• In some women, due to the tightness of the vagina, there is no penetration at all

• Some women may also experience sexual pain with no valid cause

These were some of the varying degrees of symptoms of vaginismus. However, no matter how severe the symptoms are, you must know that treatment for vaginismus exists and it can help you to eliminate vaginismus completely and without wasting too much of your hard earned money. Some of the most effective treatment options for vaginismus include vaginal dilating, Kegel exercises, Botox treatment, Hypnosis and many more. So if you are suffering from vaginismus then it is advisable that you undertake a treatment program, which is most suitable for you and treat the condition as soon as possible.
