Vaginismus:
Treatment - Vaginal Dilators
The therapist gives them several
special vaginal dilators in
graduated sizes which they can use
in the privacy of their bedroom.
There, under the woman's direction,
the man begins by inserting the
smallest dilator into her vagina. As
she becomes more relaxed, he is able
to use the larger dilators, and,
after a few days, the woman is asked
to keep a fairly large dilator in
her vagina for several hours during
the night. Eventually, the man can
attempt to insert his own penis
instead of the mechanical device. If
the dilators are used every night,
the vaginal spasms usually disappear
within less than a week, although,
in rare cases, the dilators may
still be needed before coitus for a
month or so. |
