‘Spending all night on Facebook reading threads from strangers, alone in the dark, under my snuggie, is SO much fun on a Saturday night!’ Said no one, ever.
Luckily for you this genius GINA has taken all the research, guesswork, Facebook groups, Youtube videos, and Reddit AMAs off your hands and below you will find a simple, straightforward breakdown of the most common treatments for vaginismus.
It’s important to remember that vaginismus is a neuropathic pain, meaning the nerves in the body are signaling pain up to the brain from your vagina. Therefore, the best approach to treatment is a holistic and multidisciplinary approach; we want to treat the mind and body in a number of ways together.
Think of treatment like a buffet; you can pick and choose what you like. Feel like having dessert first? Go for it! Need to spend more time in the appetizer section? You sure can!
So go ahead and work your way through each type of treatment and then we can regroup and go through what a possible treatment plan could look like for you.
