Vaginismus is one of the most common female psychosexual dysfunctions. Vaginismus is an involuntary contraction of the muscles of the vagina, which can be permanent or recurrent and can hinder the penetration of the penis and the gynecological examination. <\/span><\/p>\n

It can affect up to 5-17% of the population.<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers trace the development of vaginismus to many causes, such as a problematic family background, sexual or physical abuse, iatrogenic trauma (trauma caused by some kind of medical intervention), sexual myths, religious conservatism, relationship conflicts or psychological problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several, often combined, therapies and treatments are used to treat vaginismus. Dilator treatment is an effective treatment method for vaginismus proven by research. <\/span><\/p>\n

With the help of the dilator, the vagina can be slowly expanded, which can be done at one’s own pace and can be completely controlled. The Inspire dilator set, which you can find in our store is a great choice since they all have a ring, where you can put your fingers and have total control over penetration. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

If you have similar problems, see a doctor and work out the best treatment method for you together, and remember that you are not alone with this!<\/span><\/p>\n
