Pain-Free Vaginismus

A clearer understanding, beyond trial and error.

You can try different approaches and still feel unsure about what is contributing to your difficulty. A shared symptom does not mean a shared cause, history or care needs. Physical, emotional and relationship factors may overlap, and sometimes no precise cause is identified.

The aim of this book is to help you describe your experience, identify questions to explore with a professional and understand where to seek support. You do not have to diagnose yourself before asking for help.

What support might be relevant?

A doctor can assess symptoms and check for other causes of pain. Depending on your situation, care may involve a gynaecologist, a pelvic-health physiotherapist and/or a psychosexual therapist.

General background: NHS — Vaginismus. Your care pathway is worked out with the professionals supporting you.
