Vaginismus is vaginal tightness causing discomfort, burning, pain, penetration problems or complete inability to have intercourse.

According to www.vaginismus.com , common symptoms of vaginismus include:

-          Burning or stinging with tightness during sex

-          Difficult or impossible penetration, entry pain, uncomfortable insertion of penis

-          Unconsummated marriage

-          Ongoing sexual discomfort or pain following childbirth, yeast/urinary infections, STDs, IC, hysterectomy, cancer, surgeries, rape, menopause, or other issues

-          Ongoing sexual pain of unknown origin, with no apparent cause

-          Difficulty inserting tampons or undergoing a pelvic/gynecological exam

-          Spasm in other body muscle groups( legs, lower back, etc.) and/or halted breathing during attempts at intercourse

-          Avoidance of sex due to pain and/or failure

As it can be seen, if left untreated vaginismus can be the cause of an unfulfilled sexual life and also it can be a factor that will influence negatively relationships, self esteem, etc.

Hypnotherapy is a non-invasive method for curing vaginismus.  Vaginismus is an involuntary reaction, which is not controlled by the conscious mind and hypnosis can be of tremendous help because it targets the subconscious mind where all our habits and learned reactions reside. In a deep state of hypnosis the subconscious will be given positive suggestions regarding intercourse and penetration. Hypnosis trains  the mind to give the body the message that penetration can be not painful, but pleasurable .
