Vaginismus is the inability to have sexual intercourse caused by the contraction of the muscles in the vagina or a painful, difficult sexual intercourse. Vaginismus is also known as the inability to have sexual intercourse or first night fear. Psychological fears lie at the root of this disease, but this disease is not as easy, simple and temporary as one might think.

Most patients avoid treatment because they think they can overcome this disease on their own. But the most important thing to do is to be examined by a specialist gynecologist. In order to make a diagnosis, a gynecological examination must first be performed. Thus, the level of the disease will be determined. The examination is never done manually; it is determined whether there is any anatomical problem by visual inspection and it is learned whether the vaginismus disease is caused by physical or psychological reasons.

The methods of vaginismus treatment are a matter of curiosity. Patients do some research on the internet, and as a result of these searches, their anxiety and fears increase. While 90% of vaginismus is due to fear and anxiety, 10% is a congenital or acquired physical defect. If there are psychological reasons underlying vaginismus, cognitive behavioral sexual treatment method is applied. In addition, alternative treatment methods such as hypnosis therapy and acupuncture are also applied.

If it is a problem due to physical reasons; If the hymen is hard, has high edges, has a partition, and the vagina has a narrow entrance, causing the inability to have sexual intercourse, these problems are solved with a simple operation.

Although the personalized treatment method for vaginismus treatment varies depending on the patient, a solution is possible in a short time. Vaginismus treatment duration varies between 1 and 5 days on average. The most important detail in this treatment depends on the degree of the disease, the patient’s motivation and desire. The healing process also changes with these details. We found a solution to the problem of our vaginismus patients who applied to us in an average of 1-5 days.
