    Thanks for posting this Heather. We see many women in college, or recent graduates who are struggling with vaginismus. Most have had such a hard time ever talking to anyone about their issue, as they are not comfortable talking about sex, and often think they are “abnormal.” To any readers out there who are in college, please know you are not alone, and writing an article or posting information about vaginismus around your university could be very helpful to other women. The more it is talked about and information distributed, the easier it will be for those suffering from vaginismus to get the help they need.

    Heather , thanks for finding and posting the article written in Queens University magazine. Vaginismus awareness is key to helping cure this curable condition. It was wonderful to read that along with feelings of struggle, pain and panic there was also humor, lightheartedness and laughter. The story of vaginismus can have a happy ending.

    Hi everyone, I was just reviewing this post and thinking about all the girls who are now home from college due to Coronavirus. As we are all aware, anxiety is quite high right now and this can make vaginismus worse. If you are home, and unable to access your usual healthcare provider – please know that the clinicians at Maze Women’s health are active here on the forum. We would be happy to provide support and encouragement so you can continue to dilate at home! Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
