Vaginismus 101
Types of Vaginismus
- Primary Vaginismus:
> vaginal insertion of any kind or first time attempts with penetrative sex have always been impossible or extremely painful
> tampons may have been painful or impossible at the age of 12 when preparing to go swim
> your wedding night didn't go the way you planned - the first attempts with sex didn't work - Secondary Vaginismus:
> initial comfort and painless penetration with sudden loss of ability to achieve penetration
> may happen after a traumatic birth or pregnancy, sexual trauma, recurrent painful vaginal infections, or prolonged sexual inactivity or hormonal insufficiencies. - Situational Vaginismus:
> pain free vaginal insertion in one situation (like pelvic exams or sex) but inability to insert one's finger or achieve tampon insertion
What Causes Vaginismus?
- religious upbringing with negative views of sex
- conservative cultural upbringings that discourage sex education
- lack of sex education and understanding your body
- chronic general anxiety
- sexual anxiety or a fear of pain with sex
- history of sexual trauma or physical trauma to the vagina
- endometriosis, fibroids, or severe abdominal or pelvic pain
- painful or traumatic vaginal birth
- vaginal injury with pain
- a fear of your own vagina
- Unknown causes - some people may have vaginismus without any known reason.

Physical barriers to vaginismus: hitting a wall, vagina feels too small, burning pain
Do any of these sound familiar to you?
- Sex feels like hitting a wall
- Your vagina feels just too small
- You have ring of burning pain at the vaginal opening
- You feel like sex is blocked
Perhaps you feel safe in your relationship, enjoy passionate foreplay, use lube, and yet, you STILL feel like penetration is completely impossible.
If this is the case, you are experiencing the physical and pelvic floor muscle barriers to pleasurable sex. These barriers don't just go away on their own! They generally require physical interventions to fix them.
Significant pelvic floor tightness can make a normal-sized vagina feel super small or barely there. It can give you extreme pain when attempting insertion. The good news is this can be reversed!
Can vaginismus be due to a mental block?
Many people experience both physical and mental barriers to recovery. Vaginismus can cause significant emotional distress, isolation, insecurities, and shame, so mental health support can be very beneficial.
If you are experiencing any of the following: flashbacks of sexual trauma, automatically shutting your thighs tightly before any attempts at penetration, have fear of pain, or if you go into panic before intercourse attempts, then mental distress can be keeping you from experiencing pain free sex. You may want to consider seeing a mental health therapist to help you as one of your first steps to healing.

How we treat Vaginismus through Virtual Coaching
As pelvic floor physical therapists, we dedicate ourselves to treating vaginismus and painful sex.
With many years of expertise, education and training under our belts, we have mastered the art of virtual treatment and education. Within each coaching session, we use pelvic models, vulva models, dilators, pelvic wands, and clear instructional demos to teach you and help you achieve three major skills:
- Understand your body, your pain and how to finally resolve your pain!
- Release significant pelvic floor tightness and pain that blocks insertion and pleasurable sex!
- Use your own hands strategically for progressive dilation, pelvic wanding, and pelvic floor screening so you can feel in charge and in control of your body!
