Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing vaginismus, which can be both physically and emotionally challenging, especially when it impacts your ability to conceive. It's important to know that you're not alone, and many individuals face similar difficulties. Vaginismus often involves involuntary muscle contractions in the vaginal area, which can make any vaginal penetrationâwhether during intercourse or procedures like a scanâuncomfortable or painful. Seeking counseling from a therapist who specializes in sexual health can be incredibly helpful. They can provide you with coping strategies, techniques to manage anxiety, and exercises that may promote relaxation and comfort with the idea of vaginal penetration. Additionally, discussing your fears and experiences with a supportive healthcare professional can also be beneficial; they may suggest gentle pelvic floor therapy or desensitization techniques to help ease the discomfort you're facing. Open communication with your partner about your feelings and fears can further support your emotional well-being during this time. Remember, taking small steps at your own pace is crucial, and it's okay to prioritize your comfort as you navigate this journey.

Consult a sexologist and a psychologist for vaginismus.
Vaginismus, where vaginal muscles involuntarily contract, can stem from a combination of physical and psychological factors, including past sexual trauma, anxiety, fear of pain, or medical conditions like infections or injuries.
Vaginismus, a condition causing painful vaginal contractions, is treatable through a combination of therapies including pelvic floor physical therapy, vaginal dilators, and counseling or therapy, addressing both physical and psychological aspects.
Consulting a physiotherapist trained in pelvic health is important to get the right exercises and guidance for pelvic floor exercises.
Vaginal dilators come in different sizes, are used to gently stretch the vaginal muscles and help people become more comfortable with penetration.
Counselling is also advised to cope up fear of pain and anxiety during penetration.
Consult for the same.

Hi... Please understand this, Vaginismus is a common sexual dysfunction that occur in females and it can be completely recovered with proper guidance and treatment. You need to consult three professionals- Gynaecologist, Psychologist, and Physical therapist. In some cases where the depressive symptoms need to be regulated by a medication (SSRI), a Psychiatrist may also be consulted. The treatment involves physical examination to rule out any infection or other physiological cause, psychosexual therapy, and pelvic floor exercises. Take your time and choose a professional with whom you feel comfortable sharing all your concerns freely and inhesistantly. Once a relationship of trust is developed other professional may be consulted and the treatment may begin.
Next Steps
Consult a Gynaecologist- Physical Examination and Guidance.
Consult a Psychologist- Psychosexual Therapy, Behavior Therapy, Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling.
Consult a Physical Therapist- who specializes in Pelvic Floor Health and Pelvic Floor Exercises.
