A member asked:

How do i know for sure if i have vaginismus? i have never been able to insert anything even an inch into my vagina without bad pain.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unsure: I am not sure either by your secretion. You need a detailed medical history and a pelvic exam to develop a diagnosis.
