Don't suffer in silence
Vaginal discharge can be a distressing problem not only because of the discomfort it causes but also for the simple fact that it is connected with our most intimate parts. Most women generally make an assumption that they have a thrush infection and will buy over the counter medication. In most cases this is good practice and will help to relieve the symptoms.
If in any doubt, it is always best to have a thorough examination to establish an accurate diagnosis.

What is vaginismus?
Vaginismus, sometimes anglicized “vaginism” is the German name for a condition which affects a woman’s ability to engage in any form of vaginal penetration, including sexual intercourse, insertion of tampons, and the penetration involved in gynecological examinations. This is the result of a conditioned reflex of the pubococcygeus muscle, which is sometimes referred to as the “PC muscle”. The reflex causes the muscles in the vagina to tense suddenly, which makes any kind of vaginal penetration, including sexual intercourse, painful or impossible. This is often distressing and the results of treatment are variable. Recently we have used injections in order to relax these muscles. Success rate over 85%.
