Vaginismus is a condition that causes the muscles of the vagina to tighten involuntarily. This makes intercourse and pelvic exams very painful and can lead to problems with fertility.
A sexologist is a professional specialized in the study and understanding of people's emotional-sexual lives. These specialists have experience addressing a wide range of topics related to human sexuality, including sexual orientation, gender identity, sexual health, sexual dysfunctions, sexual education, and interpersonal relationships. Sexologists can provide counseling, therapy, and sexual education to help people understand and address their sexual concerns and difficulties, improve communication and intimacy in relationships, and promote healthy, satisfying sexuality. It is advisable to go to a sexologist when you experience problems or concerns related to sexuality, such as difficulties in sexual relationships, sexual dysfunctions, relationship conflicts, sexual identity problems or any other concern that affects your emotional-sexual life.
Remember that for the proper selection of health professional that treats vaginismus you must consider the nature, severity and symptoms you are presenting.
