When Sex Hurts

[Nicole Tammelleo, MA, LCSW]

This article may have been posted on here before, but a former patient just send it to me and asked to spread it around, as she found it so confirming, and hoped others will as well.

Nicole, this is a great article! I think what I like most about it is just getting a doctor’s perspective on the struggles of vaginismus and having trouble even getting a diagnosis (since most of us suffered for years without even understanding what was going on). A baffling number of medical professionals don’t know about vaginismus and I’m glad there’s specialists out there like this one who recognize how insane that is. Hopefully articles like this will increase visibility and let diagnoses happen even sooner in future!
