In some cases, women may later experience vaginismus. One of these is vaginismus that occurs after "dyspareunia". Pain experienced during intercourse; It is defined as “dyspareunia”. However, vaginismus is not "dyspareunia". It is necessary to distinguish between painful sexual intercourse, that is, "dyspareunia", and vaginismus. This condition usually occurs after birth. Dyspareunia may develop due to reasons such as post-vaginal postpartum stitches and associated scar tissue, vaginal dryness and atrophy due to decreasing estrogen in menopause, vaginal infections, and wounds in the cervix, that is, sexual intercourse may become painful. If dyspareunia is not treated, it may cause vaginismus to develop over time. This may lead to the development of vaginismus later in a woman who has a sexual life.
“Sexual frigidity” is another factor. Psychological and physical changes or relational problems experienced after birth may cause women who do not have any problems in their sexual life to later experience sexual frigidity. Frigidity is also colloquially described as frigidity, and sexual problems related to women are generally generalized in this way. However, frigidity and vaginismus are also different from each other. In frigidity, a woman does not enjoy sexual intercourse, is not sexually aroused, and cannot have an orgasm. For this reason, there is no or very little wetting in the vagina. In vaginismus, there is no problem in terms of sexual desire and orgasm. Although actual sexual intercourse does not occur in these people, the woman can be stimulated by alternative means, experience orgasm, and vaginal wetting occurs during sexual desire. Vaginal dryness in women who experience long-term sexual frigidity can make intercourse painful and vaginismus may occur later.
Women with vaginismus problems may experience temporary vaginal bruising, tearing due to childbirth, trying to have sexual intercourse before the healing is completed, or including the normal birth process. It may be triggered by the physical or emotional shock caused by any other temporary pain. In women who have not been fully treated and who have given birth before the problem is resolved, sexual pain and penetration difficulties that continue for the months and years following birth are encountered. Once triggered, vaginismus causes the body to tighten the pelvic floor when penetration is attempted. n and makes it very difficult to attempt sexual intercourse again. When sexual intercourse efforts result in pain and failure, the body reacts even more strongly to this situation, further strengthening the vaginismus effect. This becomes an ongoing and progressively worsening experience, sometimes referred to as the 'pain cycle' of vaginismus. The longer the pain of vaginismus continues, the more intense the tightness becomes. Eventually, simple entry becomes impossible. Therefore, the earlier the symptoms of vaginismus are diagnosed and treated, the easier they will be to resolve.
