      It comes in three types:
      
      (1) If spasm occurs after first intercourse, it is called primary vaginismus;
      
      (2) Those who have experienced successful coitus but later develop spasms are called secondary vaginismus;
      
      (3) Spasm occurs due to changes in the coitus environment, which is called situational vaginismus. This situation is relatively rare.
      
      Analyzing the causes of vaginismus, most of them are the following aspects:
      
      a. Family education is too strict and negative about sex;
      
      b. Suggestive feelings of inferiority and guilt;
      
      c. Emotional anxiety, boredom, depression, and fear;
      
      d. The trauma of young mind;
      
      e. The pain of first intercourse induces and forms conditioned reflexes;
      
      f. Improper communication skills, etc.
      
      How to relieve vaginismus
      
      Vaginal muscle relaxation technique exercises

      
      female Continuously contract and relax the muscles of your abdomen, inner thighs and vaginal opening to enhance your sense of control over muscle tightness. The specific method is to gently insert your fingertips into the vaginal opening and experience the contraction and relaxation of the vaginal muscles. If you have difficulty inserting your fingers into your vagina, take a deep breath to relax. Then ask the treating doctor for a gentle vaginal examination. The doctor will tell you that the fingers or vaginal dilators inserted into the vagina did not cause vaginismus or discomfort.
      
      At the same time, talk to yourself about the anxiety caused by vaginal insertion, and the doctor will help you with psychological analysis and eliminate anxiety. Then, the woman performs a vaginal examination without wearing gloves to get to know her own genitals. This vaginal examination can be scheduled for a few more weeks during the treatment phase. If the problem is not severe, this can be reduced to a week. If a woman is already able to perform vaginal examinations on her own, she does not need to ask a doctor for assistance. She can just repeat the procedure at home.
      
      The next step of treatment is for the husband to repeat the vaginal examination before and after the couple touches each other. First, check her genitals and gently insert the tip of a finger into the vagina under her guidance. Then, gradually insert a finger into the vagina. If possible, the husband can also insert two fingers into the vagina. When the woman can relax completely, he should move the fingers gently. The number of sessions required to accomplish this will vary from couple to couple.
      
      Later, further operations on vaginal accommodation will be performed. The couple has sex with the woman on top or sideways, so that the woman can control the depth of vaginal penetration and maintain sexy adjustment. During the vaginal accommodation operation stage, the woman should perform sexual intercourse until the final completion of sexual intercourse.
