My girlfriend has been diagnosed with primary vaginismus. God, that's a goofy word. The condition is no less strange. Those with vaginismus are unable to relax their PC muscles of the pelvic floor.

Unless vaginismus is treated with therapy, a series of dialators (dildos of progressively larger size) and lots of love and kisses, the afflicted woman will be unable to have sex (mega bummer).

Well, I'm equiped with patience and a dick. When she's ready to start working on this we'll go out and find the aforementioned equipment, but she has expressed an interest in finding some pills to help her out.

She specifically meant muscle relaxing pills, but something that might ease her mind might also fit the bill in this situation.

If anyone has dealt with this situation before and has experience to share, or simply would like to take a stab at it, I would GREATLY appreciate your advice.

thank you!

Medicine is usually not necessary for vaginismus, but mild sedatives or tranquilizers may be prescribed for short periods of time. Also, this condition is usually caused by some sort of previous trauma. I think that in addition to whatever medication her doctor decides is appropriate, as well as dilation, she should also seek some counseling.
 
Methinks benzos might be able to aid in relieving such tightness (they typically relax body AND mind). But I'm, no gynecologist by any means.
 
Sex doesn't require penetration..........

Err how about some amyl nitrate?

If Tetrazepam is available where you live, she could ask her doc what he
thinks of it. Tetrazepam is a BD which has generally muscle relaxing properties.
Its sedating and anxiolytic potency is very low compared to other BD.
Usually it is given to people suffering from painful muscle tenseness / backpain.
 
Sorry dude, sounds kind of lame. Patience is the key. Is this a curable disease/disorder/condition? ??

Never even heard of something similiar.
 
That's great that you're willing to help her deal with this, at least that's how I'm reading you (other than your title!). I would think it is very embarrassing for her, so it probably took a lot for her to even tell you about the problem - (just a female point of view on this).

Honestly, the exercises are the most effective way to treat this. It can be eliminated through exactly what you described- both PC muscle exercises and dilational insertion regimens.

There isn't much pharmacologically that is going to help. It is a completely involuntary muscle contraction. There is some work where they are looking at botox as a treatment- I'm not even sure that is very far along in the clin trials though (search vaginismus & clinical trial & botox see if you come up with anything in your area).

There are some extreme cases that require surgery- specifically hymenectomy, but that's quite rare. IIRC, it is the most treatable female sexual problem (or the 2nd most treatable if it's not the first).

Support, understanding, and willingness to help with the treatment are the best things you can do for her. I'm glad she shared this with you and didn't try to deal with it on her own! I don't know that just any guy would be able to be trusted with this- at least for me it would take one hell of a guy before i would tell him something like this!
 
some with a needle dick might be able to help her. then get jr needle dick, then pencilmcil dick, then highlighter dick, then miniture flashlight dick, then medium flash light dick, then full dick, or unless ur to embarred to walk into the adult store and buy itty bitty dildos and huge ass ones lol.
 
Or juvenile, imho.

This really isn't a joking matter. It's indicative of prior sexual trauma, and is horribly embarrassing for most women who've been afflicted with it.

Pharmacologically, I'd say Carisoprodol or Diazepam would be good choices. Diazepam can cause sloppy sex, so can Carisoprodol, I suppose, but Carisoprodol leaves me horny as hell and still able to perform.

I'm a man, though, so some of this doesn't cross over well.

You are correct Ham, it can be a result of trauma. There are some women though where it is a purely physical process, no psych issues involved. It is one disease where drug treatment is actually NOT the most effective way to go. It will be interesting to see where the botox work goes, but at this time drugs aren't the best way to deal with it.

This next part is just me guessing/thinking/opining... I don't know that taking enough benzos (enough to allow full relaxation of the muscles) would lead to me being a very active sex-partner! I'm not a huge benzo fan to start with, but would imagine I'd be more inclined to chill on a couch rather than a wild night of sex- that side effect may have something to do with the lack of effective pharmacological drug treatments - just my opinion though.
 
^I agree, botox is being used in a lot of medical cases these days (i.e. migraines) and I'd like to see what else they put it towards.

I would suggest a mild tranquilizer though, not really a benzo. I might pass by our resident gyno in the halls tonight at work and I can ask her what she would generally recommend for this sort of thing, if you'd like?

I might be posting later on, but I have to do night rounds in a few minutes. I hope everything is going well with your girlfriend, and I'm glad you're being so patient with her. I know a lot of guys would head for the hills if they heard they couldn't have regular sex with their girlfriends.

It is already in trials for this use, (I forget which stage though).

Pharmaceutical intervention IS NOT the most effective treatment for this condition, 9 out of 10 OB's would tell ya that.
