Vaginismus is an involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles that makes penetration painful or impossible. It's often linked to fear, past pain or trauma — and it responds well to a gentle, stepwise approach.
Common signs
- Penetration feels blocked or impossible
- Burning or stinging with insertion
- Fear or anxiety anticipating pain
- Difficulty with tampons or exams
