Hi ladies. Some of our forum members have described having pain-free intercourse and then developing the condition of vaginismus, which is defined as secondary vaginismus.
I personally had primary vaginismus for 15 years and could not tolerate any form of penetration. I had the coinciding fear/pain response with any attempts.
I’m wondering if forum members with secondary vaginismus could write about their experiences here.
For Dr. P, is your treatment program for secondary vaginismus different than your treatment program for primary? Could you share your experiences in treating patients with secondary vaginismus and what makes their condition different than primary vaginismus patients (i.e. less anxiety, etc.)?
