Sexual function – Dysparenia, Vestibulodynia and Vaginismus:
- Dysparenia: Statistics indicate that 10 to 15% of North American women suffer from pain during sexual activities. This can be deep or superficial.
- Vestibulodynia: Severe pain on vestibular touch or attempted vaginal entry.
- Vaginismus: This is an involuntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles, which potentially makes vaginal entry painful and sometimes impossible.
We will be looking at the reasons why patients’ introitus sensitivity has been compromised and the reasons why your pelvic floor muscles developed trigger points. Treatment includes reduction/elimination of the causes. You can learn how to relax the pelvic muscles and lower the increased resting tone/tension/trigger points with proper treatment and exercises.
