Vaginismus: Vaginismus, is the condition that affects a woman's ability to engage in any form of vaginal penetration, including sexual intercourse. This is the result of a reflex of the pubococcygeus muscle. The reflex causes the muscles in the vagina to tense suddenly, which makes any kind of vaginal penetration painful or impossible. She should consult with her ob/gyn for treatment.
