We only inject enough neuromodulators to relax the muscles, we have not received any reports of a loss of sensation.

We suggest dilating before having intercourse. We also recommend two positions for the first few attempts because they simulate the insertion of dilators. Lie on the bed with your legs apart and your feet propped up on chairs with your partner standing between your legs. Have your partner insert the largest dilator so that he can adequately gauge the appropriate angle. Then using his or your hands, slowly insert his penis into your vagina. Another position is the missionary position. Have your partner kneel between your legs as you are lying on your back. Again have your partner insert the largest dilator so he can adequately gauge the appropriate angle. Then using his or your hands insert his penis. Once your partner is fully inside and you are relaxed enough and you are not experiencing any pain, let him start to move slowly and gently. Remember to use adequate lubricant to make insertion easier.

Many gynecologists are not trained in vaginismus during both medical school and residency. This is a major problem in terms of the training that they receive. We are hopeful that this will change in the near future as Vaginismus is no longer a condition that is not talked about by both the media and by patients themselves.
