Vaginismus Advanced Dubai What is It and How to Treat It Efficiently?

Vaginismus Advanced in Dubai is a prevalent yet frequently misunderstood condition that impacts women worldwide. In this blog, we provide an in-depth explanation of vaginismus and explore the various treatment options available. If your patients are dealing with vaginismus, they are not alone: support and help are accessible.

But what exactly is vaginismus? It is an involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor muscles that makes penetration difficult, whether during sexual intercourse or while inserting a tampon, sex toy, finger, speculum, or during vaginal examination.

What is vaginismus?

Vaginismus advanced in Dubai is a sexual dysfunction that is more common than many realize, as it is rarely discussed openly. It is estimated to affect between 4–7% of all women. While the proportion of patients seeking medical help for sexual dysfunction ranges from 5 to 20%, the actual prevalence is likely higher due to the sensitive nature of the condition and the feelings of shame associated with it.

This muscular overactivity is caused by trigger points in the muscles, and the contraction occurs despite the presence of sexual desire or arousal. Even when the woman appears relaxed, penetration often causes a stinging sensation or even pain.

There are two main types of vaginismus:

• Primary vaginismus: In this form, the woman has never been able to tolerate vaginal penetration.
• Secondary vaginismus: In this form, the woman was previously able to experience vaginal penetration without difficulty, but symptoms developed later.

But what causes the appearance of vaginismus?

It’s important to understand that vaginismus can be caused by a variety of factors, typically categorized as emotional or physical. Advanced Vaginismus Treatment Dubai can help address these underlying causes effectively. In most cases, there isn’t a single underlying cause; instead, the condition usually develops from a combination of multiple contributing factors.

How to treat vaginismus

Until now, vaginismus has largely been considered a psychological condition, and its treatment has therefore focused primarily on psychotherapy. While the emotional aspect is undeniably important, it is crucial to remember that vaginismus fundamentally involves myofascial trigger points in the pelvic muscles, and like any other muscular contraction in the body, it should be addressed with this in mind.

With Vaginismus Surgery Under General Anesthesia Dubai, it’s important to note that many physicians and even specialized gynecologists may not be aware of effective treatment options beyond using medications to relax vaginal muscles. As a result, patients are often referred to other professionals, such as physiotherapists for targeted physical therapy, muscle relaxation, or contraction exercises, or psychologists for sex education and counseling to address the emotional aspects of the condition.

Moreover, medical professionals frequently overlook other methods or technologies that can replace injectable drugs. They may also recommend masturbation combined with vaginal dilators to help patients locate tension in the vaginal muscles and gradually enable normal coitus. However, this approach can increase the emotional burden, potentially making treatment less effective.

With Botox for Vaginismus Dubai, treatment goes beyond psychological support—except in cases where the cause is purely physical. It is essential to involve a physiotherapist specialized in the pelvic floor, who can perform a thorough assessment and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs. Physiotherapists have a range of tools to relax the pelvic floor muscles, including:

• Techniques for body awareness

• Progressive perineal massage

• Muscle release through manual pressure

• Muscle release via dry needling

• Negative biofeedback, among others

Even so, many physiotherapists face challenges as results can appear slowly, may not persist over time, and some techniques can be uncomfortable, occasionally producing the opposite effect of what was intended.

At a Vaginismus Specialist Clinic Dubai, it is critical that physical treatment approaches include methods to inhibit the sympathetic nervous system. This branch of the autonomic nervous system is activated under stress, triggering the body’s fight-or-flight response and releasing cortisol, the stress hormone, which can worsen symptoms if not properly managed. The effects include increased heart rate, suppressed digestion, and elevated muscle tone—including the pelvic floor muscles—resulting in spasms that constrict and tighten the vaginal canal.

Radiofrequency consistently slows down the action of the sympathetic nervous system. This makes the parasympathetic system work, which is in charge of digestion and relaxation. In response, the body slows down the heart rate, speeds up digestion, and calms down all of its muscles.

With Vaginismus Painful Intercourse Solution Dubai, one effective treatment for pain involves the use of radiofrequency with automatic active plates designed to promote relaxation. These plates are carefully positioned and come equipped with temperature monitoring to ensure safety and optimal comfort during the procedure.

The treatment also lowers pain and inflammation and raises blood flow, which brings oxygen and nutrients to the vaginal barrier and makes it naturally smoother. Additionally, it is a great first treatment that lets you stretch your muscles later, early on, without any pain.

One thing that sets it apart from other tecar devices for the pelvic floor is its intracavitary MJS probe with temperature monitor, which lets the vaginal wall be treated in a pleasant way from the inside. Because of the way it’s shaped, it’s possible to do a lot of safe and easy things.

The treatment probe’s anatomic shape and specific dimensions for vaginismus allow for a pleasant and safe organic genital approach. This is made possible by the single-patient, single-use probe cover and temperature sensor, which ensures a treatment without the risk of burns or electrical discharges.

When considering surgical vaginismus options for painful intimacy Dubai, it’s important to note that many traditional devices rely on passive intracavitary probes. These devices carry a risk of burns and are limited to static treatments, which are ineffective for vaginismus. They cannot simultaneously target the vaginal walls, labia minora and majora, introitus, clitoris, and perineum—areas that require coordinated treatment for optimal results.

How to treat vaginismus with Dr. Rashad Haddad 

According to the type of patient and the resistance offered during digital vaginal examination of the area or the introduction of any type of dilator, Dr. Rashad Haddad allows the external application of his technology during the first sessions (1 to 3), placing the so-called automatic plates on the mons pubis while externally applying the manual capacitive electrode, bordering the vaginal entrance.

Furthermore, the vascularization effect of the area combined with the emission of radiofrequency is effective, as it stimulates muscular relaxation and improves blood flow and lubrication. The stimulation of body awareness, together with the pedagogical support of the physiotherapist, also helps the patient overcome the next steps of treatment.

For a more global treatment, it is also possible to position the plates on the suprarenal glands, which are responsible for cortisol regulation. Cross fires can also be applied (capacitive and resistive electrodes simultaneously), massaging the paravertebral muscles where the sympathetic lymph node chain is located. In the same manner, cross fires can be used to relax the diaphragm, a muscle strongly connected to the pelvic floor.

Through this indirect approach, it becomes possible to move later to a direct treatment of the pelvic floor. From the 4th or 5th session onward, it will, in most cases, be possible to perform a combined action with the intracavitary MJS probe, consisting of a gentle massage of the vaginal cavity to relax the muscles and performing a “pain-free” intracavitary treatment.

On average, the treatment of vaginismus requires a minimum of 8 to 10 sessions, depending on the pathology and the patient. This treatment produces a biological effect that provides the patient with a sense of recovery of the pelvic floor anatomy and functionality, as the mucosa becomes more hydrated and the muscles fully relax. From this point onward, the patient can continue exercises and external stimulation to further enhance muscle relaxation and vaginal dilation.

It is important to always accompany the treatment with a proper evaluation of progress, so both the physiotherapist and the patient have an objective understanding of how the muscle tone is evolving. Electromyography is the ideal tool to record these changes in basal muscle tone. This tone begins at a high value, and during treatment, it gradually decreases until it approaches values close to zero.

Finally, it is also important to complement radiofrequency treatment with techniques the patient can use independently, such as gentle and sustained vibration in the perineal area, using dilators of progressively larger sizes, breathing exercises, or mindful relaxation. The aversion to physical contact or pain will no longer exist, as the goal of muscle relaxation has been achieved.

At Dr. Rashad Haddad Clinic, the Best Vaginismus Surgeon Dubai utilizes innovative technology that supports pelvic floor specialists and physiotherapists in treating vaginismus. This approach is highly efficient, delivering short-term results while promoting natural and biological recovery of vaginal anatomy through extracavitary and intracavitary vascularization of tissues.

The treatment is painless and non-invasive, even when penetration is involved, as it follows a gradual and progressive process through external automatic treatments that build the patient’s confidence and trust. It differs completely from drug injections, which are often perceived as very painful, with uncertain results over time, as they do not generate a biological response or long-lasting muscular or cellular regeneration.

This treatment also increases the likelihood of pregnancy after addressing vaginismus or vulvodynia, not only due to the recovery of vaginal stimulation but also because of improved blood flow and cellular stimulation, which facilitates implantation of the fertilized ovum. Therefore, the patient gains more benefits compared to other techniques that produce only localized or external effects.

Dr. Rashad Haddad’s patented intracavitary MJS probe has been specifically designed for this type of treatment as well as for other pelvic floor pathologies, such as chronic pelvic pain caused by endometriosis, episiotomies, fibrosis, or general pelvic pain.
