Normally, the vaginal sphincter
keeps the vagina closed until the need to expand and relax. This relaxation
allows for sexual intercourse, medical examination, insertion of tampons and
childbirth. Vaginismus occurs when the vagina is unable to relax and permit
the penetration of the penis during intercourse however, when vaginismus does
occur, the sphincter goes into spasm resulting in the tightening of the
vagina.
In some women vaginismus
prevents all attempts at successful intercourse. Vaginismus may even occur
anytime in life, even if a woman has a history of enjoyable and painless
intercourse.
The severity of vaginismus
varies from woman to woman. Some are able to insert a tampon and complete a
gynecological exam but are unable to insert a penis. Others are unable to
insert anything into their vagina.
Vaginismus is not due to a
physical abnormality of the genitals. Some women wonder if their vagina is too
small to "accommodate" a penis, or perhaps they have no vaginal opening at all.
This is understandable especially when the vaginal muscles are in spasm as
they can give the appearance that the opening is nonexistent. These concerns,
however, are incorrect as the genital area is completely normal.
