Vaginismus is a condition that causes involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles, making penetration painful or even impossible. It can impact both physical intimacy and overall well-being, leading many women to feel distressed or frustrated. At Indigo Women’s Clinic, a leading cosmetic gynecology clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating vaginismus with the latest medical advancements.
