A common question women ask is whether our treatment is suitable for women who do not have a partner, and if the cure will ‘hold’ until they find someone to have intercourse with.
Our answers:
- Yes, our treatment is suitable for the partnered and the single woman;
- Vaginismus is about the woman’s relationship with her vagina, not about a partner;
- Vaginismus treatment is not about sex/intercourse but rather about owning all vaginal penetrations;
- Women without a (male) partner will do fine with sex/intercourse once they find a partner as long as they follow our discharge instructions.
The following was just received from a patient who was treated 12 years ago while still single:
“I finally met someone and have been in a relationship for 3 months now. We are very connected and sex has been amazing. This is not something that I take for granted given the struggle for normalcy, which I was only able to overcome with your expertise many years ago. I have been able to actually experience sexual pleasure as I am turning 40.”
