Vaginismus Treatment

Rediscover comfort and intimacy with personalized care

What is a Vaginismus?

Vaginismus involves involuntary muscle contractions that make vaginal penetration painful or impossible, often leading to distress and avoidance of intimacy. Dr. Maria Karakoulaki is well-known across the Middle East for her unique and effective treatment for vaginismus. At Gyneco, we combine her expertise with a holistic approach, offering pelvic floor therapy, relaxation techniques, and counseling to address both the physical and emotional aspects of the condition. Our goal is to provide effective, lasting relief in a safe and supportive environment.

Why our approach is unique

Our clinic is designed as a sanctuary where women feel comfortable sharing their experiences without judgment. This treatment is tailored for women who experience pain during intercourse, have a history of trauma, or feel anxious about intimacy. By creating a personalized treatment plan that acknowledges each woman’s unique story, we help our patients regain control, experience pain-free intimacy, and build fulfilling relationships with confidence.

How is a Vaginismus Treatment performed?

Gyneco’s treatment for vaginismus involves a customized, step-by-step protocol:

  • Injections: Administered at the vaginal entrance to relax muscles, performed under local anesthesia, or general anesthesia if sensitivity is high

  • Vaginal Dilation: Special dilators are used in multiple sessions, both in-clinic and at home, to gently stretch the muscles and reduce sensitivity to penetration

  • Progress Tracking: Patients are encouraged to keep a diary to monitor improvements and progress through each phase of treatment

This multi-step protocol is designed to gradually relieve muscle tightness, allowing women to regain comfort and confidence in intimate situations.

Who is a good candidate for Vaginismus Treatment?

This treatment is ideal for women experiencing pain or discomfort during vaginal penetration, such as during intercourse, tampon use, or pelvic exams, and who seek a supportive, personalized approach to alleviate symptoms.
