Vaginismus is a physical condition only and a psychological one. There are treatments available for both primary and secondary Vaginismus. Most doctors can help women with this but women fail to take the treatment either because they are too afraid and embarrassed about the problem or they think this is natural and hence endure the pain.
Most women do not realize this condition till after they have tried to insert a tampon or tried to have their first sexual intercourse. There can be various reasons as to why a woman is unaware of this condition. These reasons have been adequately discussed in this book together with several natural treatments for vaginismus or painful sex.
