Tightening of Vaginal Muscles During Sex? It can be Vaginismus!
But that is not the end of the world!
We know that the word itself sounds really scary. But it is not as scary as you probably think it is. Sure, it sounds like some serious disease. But the truth is, vaginismus is nothing like that.
As you have probably guessed from the title, it has to do with tightening of vaginal muscles during sexual intercourse. This can cause pain, which can make sex feel very uncomfortable. However, you can do something in order to improve your sex life and get rid of the vaginismus.
Well, the best thing to do, obviously, is to find out what is causing it. Because vaginismus can have various causes. It does not always have to be caused by a medical condition, but it can also be psychological! For example, if you had problems with sex in the past, or if you have some problems in your relationship right now, then your vagina may be reacting this way.
But this is something a professional should be helping you with. It is necessary that you visit a doctor so that he can help you find out why vaginismus is your problem. And also, whether vaginismus is your problem. Because sexual pain can also have other causes. But I really do not want to scare you.
Also, if you have vaginismus, there is an exercise you can do in order to help your body adjust. Kegel exercise is very popular, and I bet that you are familiar with it. So, just do this exercise everyday and you will see improvement!
And please, do not panic. Vaginismus is a common condition and it is really not a reason to stop having great sex! Although, if you are experiencing pain, then avoiding it at least for a while would probably be a good thing for your vagina.
So, go ahead and stop panicking!
