Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deconditioning is a common treatment approach for vaginismus, which is characterized by the involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles during attempts at penetration. By retraining the body to relax these muscles, women with vaginismus can often overcome their sexual dysfunction. Dyspareunia (painful intercourse), myotonia (muscle stiffness), and anorgasmia (inability to achieve orgasm) are not directly related to the automatic tightening of the vaginal muscles, and therefore would not be treated with deconditioning.
