DIFFERENT THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES FOR VAGINISM: A LITERARY REVIEW

Abstract

Vaginismus is an underdiagnosed condition, lacking attention due to the scarcity of research and discussions on the subject. This leads to inadequate treatments, but different approaches demonstrate effectiveness in improving the quality of life. Physiotherapy and psychotherapy, especially Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), yield significantly positive results, as do invasive procedures like botulinum toxin injections and techniques involving trigger point infiltration and radiofrequency. With diverse approaches, professionals should be aware to provide personalized assessment and treatment.
