What is Vaginismus?
Vaginismus is an involuntary contraction of the vaginal muscles, causing discomfort, pain, or the inability to engage in penetrative intercourse. This condition affects countless women worldwide, often leading to frustration, anxiety, and relationship strain.
If you experience:
-
Severe pain or burning sensation during intimacy
-
Inability to have vaginal penetration despite desire
-
Fear or anxiety before sexual intercourse
-
Difficulty using tampons or undergoing gynecological exams
You may be dealing with vaginismus — and you are not alone. The good news is, vaginismus is highly treatable with the right specialist approach.
What Causes Vaginismus?
Vaginismus is usually rooted in a combination of physical, psychological, or emotional factors. Common causes include:
-
Fear of pain from previous negative experiences
-
Anxiety linked to lack of sexual knowledge or confidence
-
History of sexual trauma or abuse
-
Cultural or religious taboos around sexuality
-
Underlying medical issues affecting pelvic muscles
-
Fear of feeling pain during first intercourse
-
Severe pain or bleeding at first intercourse
-
Other factors that affected the patient
Vaginismus is a disorder that is usually caused by psychological reasons. It may not be determined exactly which psychological reason lies at the root of the disorder. Because the disease can occur from a combination of many psychological factors. Common causes of vaginismus:
Fear of feeling inadequate and unsuccessful. Especially in women who are not satisfied with their appearance, the feeling of inadequacy may be more. This stress and pressure can trigger vaginismus. In addition, although it is a low probability, some physical anomalies that cause the woman to feel pain during sexual intercourse can also cause the person to associate sexual intercourse and pain; therefore, it can cause vaginismus.
Dr. Kubra Altintas approaches vaginismus treatment holistically, considering both physical health and emotional wellbeing.

How is Vaginismus Treated in Dubai?
Treatment begins with a comprehensive, respectful gynecological evaluation. Depending on individual needs, your treatment plan may include:
Gentle physical therapy to relax pelvic muscles
Step-by-step penetration exercises at your pace
Mind-body techniques to reduce anxiety
Supportive counseling for emotional aspects
Vaginismus is 100% curable with correct diagnosis and treatment. Women often do not realize the fear and pressure they feel until they enter into a relationship. Contractions can occur only in the muscles at the entrance of the vagina, or in the form of locking the legs or the whole body.
Women who have had previous sexual experiences may also face vaginismus because of their negative experiences or painful sexual intercourse. In either case, vaginismus can be treated and the person can have a healthy private life. In cases where vaginismus is not treated, it can lead to communication breakdown and arguments between spouses.
Our priority is your comfort, privacy, and success. We ensure a safe, professional environment for every woman seeking vaginismus treatment in Dubai.
