VAGINISMUS
TREATMENTS |
|
|
|
The treatment of choice with vaginismus
is an extensive therapy program that combines education and
counseling with behavioral exercises. Exercises include pelvic floor
muscle contraction and relaxation (Kegel exercises) to improve
voluntary control. Vaginal
dilation exercises are recommended using plastic dilators. This
should be done under the direction of a sex therapist or other
health care provider and treatment should involve the partner. This
treatment should gradually include more intimate contact, ultimately
resulting in intercourse.
Educational treatment, including
information about sexual anatomy, physiology, the sexual response
cycle, and common myths about sex, should be provided as well. |
