Women often suspect they have vaginismus simply from their symptoms.
Strong indicators of vaginismus include any of the following symptoms:
No definitive medical test exists for the diagnosis of vaginismus so it often takes a number of visits to several physicians or specialists before a medical diagnosis is obtained. Medical diagnosis is typically determined through patient history and description of problem/pain, gynecological examination and the process of ruling out the possibility of other conditions.
In some cases and locations, a solid medical diagnosis is not always available or possible. Sexual pain disorders like vaginismus are commonly misdiagnosed or left unaddressed, especially in nations with fewer health care options. Often women need to strongly advocate for themselves and be very courageous in persevering until their concerns are given due attention and a reliable medical diagnosis is reached.
Our mission is to help as many women as possible with this condition. This website details important information about vaginismus and we invite all those suspecting a possible diagnosis to read through the sections on symptoms, stories, causes, diagnosis, treatment and FAQs, to learn as much as they can about the condition.
