Hi mam, I have overcome vaginismus and I want to share my story in the hope that it helps anyone.

I always had this thought in my mind that sex is painful. I’ve heard many times about the bleeding which happens after first penetration. I got married in Dec 2019 but couldn’t consummate our marriage for a year. Whenever we tried for penetration, it was extremely painful for me. I held my pelvic muscles extremely tight that penetration was not possible for my husband. There was a strong burning sensation.

I really felt something’s wrong with my body. We went to a gynae for help but it was of no use. She said it’s all a mind block and you just have to clear it. But that was the exact problem. I couldn’t just overcome it even though I knew it’s a block in my mind. Meanwhile I slipped into depression.
I searched a lot on net and fortunately we found a doctor in Hyderabad. I couldn’t even talk to her in my first appointment and only cried a lot. She referred me to a psychiatrist and I was put on anti-depressants medication. Meanwhile she started dilator therapy. She was very kind and soft while dealing with me. Vaginismus felt like end of the world for me but within 2 months I was cured of vaginismus and we could consummate our marriage.

Anybody suffering with vaginismus please know that it is curable. You only need to find the right doctor.
