What is Vaginismus?
Vaginismus is a condition that involves involuntary muscle spasms of the vaginal muscles, resulting in pain during sexual intercourse, tampon insertion, or even sitting.
There are many causes and triggers of vaginismus, including physical, emotional, and psychological, which can occur at any age. Examples include (but are not limited to) tightness and anatomy, hormonal changes, vaginal deliveries, traumatic sexual experiences, deep vaginal pain (often associated with endometriosis), pelvic asymmetry and more. Regardless of the cause, vaginismus often requires intervention (perhaps multiple) to help release the vaginal muscles.
Possible Treatment Options
To relieve the symptoms of this condition, our highly trained physician, Dr. Murad, offers Botox injections. Botox is injected in small amounts into the contracted muscles, under local anaesthetic. Usually one course of injection is required for treatment. You can begin to notice the effects within a few weeks of treatment.
