At times, the “my body, my rights” rule is broken by our bodies themself. Vaginismus is one such occurrence, where the vagina involuntarily tightens and contracts during a pelvic exam, the insertion of a tampon, or sexual intercourse. Vaginismus can be arbitrary and 1 in 500 women are affected by it. Short-term cures may include topical numbing creams. However, at (-) we believe in long-term solutions, which is why our physiotherapists offer individualized treatment plans such as Kegel exercises and CBT.
