Vaginismus is defined as the woman's inability to allow sexual intercourse due to her fear, anxiety and anxiety, even though there is no anatomical obstacle.
If couples cannot have sexual intercourse from the first night, if the woman cannot have sexual intercourse with her husband due to fears caused by misinformation, negative experiences or social pressures, this can cause negativities in marriages, even leading to divorce.
The thought that sexual intercourse is a painful situation in women creates feelings such as fear, anxiety or guilt. These feelings result in behaviors such as closing the legs and rejecting intercourse as a result of physical changes such as contraction and freezing. This condition, called vaginismus, is seen in almost one in ten women.
Unfortunately, in our society, shameful, forbidden, sinful, shameful, and privacy-related thoughts are quite common, which eliminate women's behavior in seeking help. The postponed process gradually increases fear, creates distress, and causes spouses to distance themselves from each other and from sexuality.
First of all, it is useful to know that vaginismus is a temporary disorder that can be treated. Vaginismus women are lucky to make a full recovery. In addition, vaginismus therapy usually does not require surgical intervention and other invasive interventions. The woman is not required to use any medication during the treatment process. The only thing that needs to be done is for the woman to find a sexual therapist who will be a good guide, explain everything clearly, and most importantly, have a desire to heal. If the woman manages to do this, it will be possible for her to self-treat with the exercises her sexual therapist will recommend.
Although the treatment process varies depending on the patient, an average of 6-10 sessions are planned to be completed in a maturation period of 4-6 weeks.
The aim of the treatment is not only to achieve sexual intercourse, but also for the couple to live a healthy, happy, enjoyable and fulfilling sexual life. It should always be taken into consideration that couples who have a healthy and happy sexual life can easily solve other problems in their marriage and life, and the positive contribution of this situation to the continuation of their long-term relationship.
