Vaginismus (Involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles)
Primary
Involuntary contraction of the vaginal muscles, making penetration impossible or extremely painful. These women have never been able to allow/tolerate full penetration during intercourse, and have probably never been able to insert a tampon either.
Secondary
It may develop after an incidenct of painful intercourse or a traumatic experience where the woman will anticipate pain and develop vaginismus as a protective mechanism.
This condition is treatable, so do consult your gynaecologist or a sex therapist.
