Vaginismus

- a condition in which the external muscles of the vagina involuntarily spasmodically contract when trying to commit sexual intercourse. Suffer these women of any age, but more often young. The degree of vaginismus can be different, up to the complete closure of the entrance to the vagina and the inability to conduct a gynecological examination. Some women with vaginismus are capable of sexual arousal and sexual gratification, but without sexual intercourse. Only the desire to have children compels such women to address zamomoshchjuk to the doctor. The cause of vaginismus may be the fear of sexual intercourse from childhood (the girl witnessed erotic scenes or rape), the fear of losing virginity, severe pain and roughness on the part of the partner at the first sexual intercourse, etc.
