Vaginismus could be physical or psychological in nature. Physical causes vary from an imperforated hymen, a dry atrophied vagina to even endometriosis. While psychological causes may vary from the dislike of partner, rape, incest, childhood molestation, fear of penetration & pain near the vaginal area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fear of penetration & pain may develop from inadequate sex knowledge, myths and misconceptions, and from the stories of painful sexual intercourse experiences narrated by others. Mostly, the first time \/ first night stories of pain & bleeding, during attempts for penetration, horrifies the one who has not yet undergone penetration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever is the cause, the anticipating pain during the next attempt of penetration, send signals from brain to the muscles around vagina, to close the vaginal opening tight & shut. As a result, the vagina is so tightly closed that attempted penetration becomes more and more difficult and painful. Finally the whole process goes beyond the woman\u2019s conscious control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
