Vaginismus Treatment with Botox at DRHC Dubai

Understanding Vaginismus

Vaginismus is a condition characterized by involuntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles surrounding the vagina. These spasms can make vaginal penetration—whether during intercourse, tampon insertion, or gynecological examinations—painful or impossible. The exact cause of vaginismus is not always clear, but it can be related to physical or psychological factors, including fear of pain, trauma, or anxiety.

Symptoms of Vaginismus

• Painful intercourse (dyspareunia)
• Difficulty with vaginal penetration
• Burning or stinging sensations
• Muscle spasms and tightening
• Avoidance of sexual activity due to fear of pain

Traditional Treatments for Vaginismus

• Pelvic floor physical therapy
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Use of vaginal dilators
• Relaxation techniques and exercises

Botox Injection for Vaginismus

At DRHC Dubai, we offer an innovative and highly effective treatment for vaginismus using Botox (botulinum toxin) injections. Botox works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles, reducing involuntary spasms and allowing for pain-free penetration.

How Botox Injection Works

1. Consultation and Diagnosis: A thorough evaluation by our experienced gynecologists to confirm the diagnosis of vaginismus.
2. Procedure: The Botox injection is administered into the pelvic floor muscles under local anesthesia or sedation. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking about 10-20 minutes.
3. Recovery: Patients can usually return to normal activities shortly after the procedure. The effects of Botox start to be noticeable within a few days to a week.
4. Follow-Up: A follow-up appointment to assess progress and address any concerns. Physical therapy or counseling may also be recommended to complement the treatment.

Benefits of Botox Injection for Vaginismus

• Effective Relief: Provides significant relief from muscle spasms, reducing pain during penetration.
• Minimally Invasive: A simple, outpatient procedure with minimal discomfort and downtime
• Long-Lasting Results: The effects of Botox can last for several months, allowing patients to engage in pain-free sexual activity.
• Complementary to Other Therapies: Can be used alongside other treatments such as physical therapy and counseling for comprehensive care.
