Vaginismus in Utah

Compassionate, Proven Help at Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness

Painful penetration, burning, or an inability to insert a tampon or undergo a pelvic exam isn’t “just in your head.” You may be experiencing vaginismus—a treatable condition involving involuntary muscle tightening in the vagina.

At Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness, we help women across Utah overcome vaginismus with gentle, evidence-based pelvic floor physical therapy. It’s private, respectful care that gets to the root of the problem—without medication or surgery.

What Is Vaginismus?

Vaginismus is a condition where the pelvic floor muscles surrounding the vagina tighten or spasm involuntarily, making any kind of vaginal insertion painful or impossible.
You might notice:

• Sharp or burning pain during attempted penetration
• Painful or failed gynecological exams
• Difficulty inserting tampons or menstrual cups
• Anxiety or fear about intimacy due to pain
• Muscle clenching even with gentle contact

Whether you’ve experienced this since your first attempt at penetration (primary vaginismus) or it started later in life (secondary vaginismus), you are not alone—and you are not broken.

What Causes Vaginismus?

Vaginismus is often both physical and emotional in origin. It can stem from:

• Overactive pelvic floor muscles
• Past trauma or negative sexual experiences
• Anxiety, shame, or fear surrounding penetration
• Painful medical procedures or infections
• Postpartum body changes
• Lack of education about sexual anatomy and function

We treat vaginismus by addressing the muscular, neurological, and emotional components—all at your pace.
