VAGINISM
Basically, as a result of fear, women with vaginismus cannot insert anything into the vaginal canal, despite wanting to do so.
Even if they have sexual desire, women with vaginismus cannot live their sexuality in a calm way because they do not understand penetration as something simple and natural, in such a way that whenever a situation occurs where an object is introduced into the vagina they contract the PERINEUM.
Women with vaginismus will probably also not be able to have a gynecological exam, nor will they be able to use tampons.
TREATMENT
