Vaginismus
Vaginismus is a condition characterized by involuntary muscle spasms in the muscles surrounding the vaginal opening, which can make vaginal penetration painful, difficult, or even impossible. It is considered a type of sexual pain disorder and can significantly impact sexual function, intimacy, and quality of life.
