Vaginismus occurs when the muscles around the vagina tighten involuntarily in response to penetration, such as during sexual intercourse, gynaecological exams, or tampon insertion. This condition can result in pain, anxiety, and difficulty engaging in intimate activities. It may be caused by physical factors, psychological issues, or a combination of both.
At Beautiful Mind Healthcare, we provide a holistic approach to treating vaginismus, combining physical and emotional support to address both the physical and psychological components of the condition. Our personalised treatment plan includes:
Evidence-based therapy helps you address any fear, anxiety, or negative thought patterns contributing to vaginismus. We help you reframe negative beliefs and replace them with positive, empowering thoughts about intimacy.
We offer pelvic floor therapy to strengthen and relax the muscles surrounding the vagina, reducing involuntary spasms and pain during penetration. These exercises can help you attain better control over your pelvic muscles and reduce discomfort.
Our therapists provide clear, supportive education about sexual anatomy, pleasure, and intimacy, helping to eliminate any misconceptions or fears. Understanding your body can be an essential step in overcoming vaginismus.
We incorporate mindfulness, progressive muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises to help reduce anxiety and muscle tension, making the process of therapy more manageable.
In some cases, involving a partner in therapy can be beneficial. We offer couples counselling to improve communication, understanding, and intimacy between partners, making it easier to address the emotional aspects of vaginismus.
Our team of experienced therapists and specialists provide a non-judgmental, safe, and compassionate space for you to address your concerns and work toward healing.
We use a combination of physical and psychological therapies developed to serve your unique needs, ensuring effective, lasting results.
All treatments are conducted with the utmost respect for your privacy and confidentiality. We ensure you feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.
The primary symptom of vaginismus is pain during penetration, whether during intercourse, tampon insertion, or gynaecological exams. It can also cause anxiety about sexual activity.
Treatment duration varies depending on the seriousness and underlying causes. Many women experience significant improvements within a few weeks to months of consistent therapy.
Vaginismus can have both psychological and physical components. It may be triggered by anxiety, fear, or trauma, but physical factors like muscle tension or pelvic floor dysfunction can also contribute.
While not always necessary, involving your partner in therapy can help improve communication, intimacy, and understanding. We offer partner counselling if both of you wish to address relationship issues together.
Yes, vaginismus can typically be treated effectively without surgery. Our treatments, including evidence-based therapies, pelvic floor exercises, and relaxation techniques, are non-invasive and highly effective.
