What Is Vaginismus?

Vaginismus is a condition in which a woman experiences involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles, making penetration painful or even impossible. यह दर्द सिर्फ physical नहीं होता—यह fear, anxiety, past trauma, या negative sexual experiences से भी trigger हो सकता है. Many women silently suffer from this condition, believing it's “normal,” but untreated vaginismus can severely affect intimacy, confidence, and emotional well-being. Common symptoms include burning, sharp pain during attempted penetration, difficulty inserting tampons, or fear of intercourse.
