Vaginismus: Is not usually treated with medication. Behavioral therapy is sometimes helpful; you need to see a very good gyn about this, one who has experience with the problem.

Vaginismus: Treatment may be with vaginal dilators which are graduated or tapered blunt-ended probes in different sizes, the first about the size of a tampon, and the last approximately the size of the partner's penis. Vaginal acceptance trainers are more ergonomic and flexible and take the shape of the woman's vagina, and these can be used at home after some training.

Vaginismus: Treatment for vaginismus varies, depending on what triggered it. Most women with vaginismus find reducing muscle tension using a combination of relaxation techniques, counselling, plus physical therapy with a specialist women's physiotherapist helps a lot. Your local GP or sexual health clinic should be able to help you find local health providers with expertise in treating vaginismus.
