Psychological factors
This is the most common. Women lack proper understanding of sexual life, are over-stressed, or have a strong fear of puncturing the hymen, fear of sexual intercourse, fear of foreign objects hitting the vagina, and fear of pregnancy. The husband and wife have long been at odds, and the wife is very disgusted with sex life. The patient regards sexual intercourse as a kind of dirty, sinful and shameful behavior, or has a history of severe sexual life during childhood. In the past, severe trauma was caused by forced or violent rape, and vaginal spasm was also prone to occur.
2. Improper posture, manner, etc.
Improper posture, excessive pressure on the anterior vaginal wall, especially the urethra, can cause pain and cause vaginal spasm. This kind of situation happens repeatedly, which may cause the mental and psychological pathological development of women, so that vaginal muscle spasm during sexual intercourse occurs.
3. Lack of preparation before the intercourse
The vaginal opening is dry, and the man's movements are irritable and rough, causing pain. The man in the same room did not sufficiently stimulate the woman's sexually sensitive area and forced sexual intercourse. During the intercourse, the man acted too recklessly and rudely, which caused the woman to have vaginal spasms due to aversion and fear.
4. Organic lesions of the vagina
Female genital infections, such as cervicitis, vaginitis, local inflammation, deformities, tumors, etc., can also induce vaginal spasm, which is rare.
5. Other
The hymen is abnormal, such as the hymen is tight, lacks tension, or the entrance is too small. The hymen has been traumatized, infected or cracked. The hymen is tough, and the hymen ruptures during first marriage and is too painful, causing vaginal reflexes and defensive spasms. Congenital stenosis of the vagina and scars of vaginal surgery. After perineal reorganization or perineal incision, scarring is left, causing the vaginal entrance to be tight and smaller.

Clinical manifestations of vaginal spasm

Vaginal spasm can be a protective activity caused by organic lesions of the vulva or vagina. Due to the conditioned reflex caused by repeated pain, vaginal spasms persist even if the primary lesion has disappeared or cured. Those with mild symptoms can barely share the same room, but both men and women feel discomfort, and the woman feels pain; in severe cases, the penis cannot be inserted into the vagina and cannot have sex. Most vaginal spasms occur in a woman's wedding, but can also occur in women who have been married for many years.
The spasm area is limited to the muscles around the vaginal opening, and sometimes it shows the tightening of all the vaginal muscles, resulting in paresthesia of the vulva, the inner thighs and the lower abdomen. Any stimulation to these parts will aggravate the vaginal spasms.

Learn more about the spouse's marriage, sexual life history, and social and psychological background, analyze the causes of spasm, and rule out organic diseases. Any involuntary and persistent spastic contraction of the vagina before or during sexual intercourse can be diagnosed. Vaginismus can be divided into four levels.
Grade I: Vaginal spasms occur under certain conditions. For example, caressing time is too short before sexual intercourse, rough sexual intercourse, or unsafe environment during sexual intercourse. The muscles that cause vaginal spasm are limited to the muscles of the perineum and the levator muscles.
Grade : The muscles that have spasms are not limited to the perineal muscles, and spread to the entire pelvic muscle group. Or vaginal spasm can occur in a variety of situations, can not have intercourse.
Grade III: During vaginal spasm, not only does the pelvic muscles spasm, but the entire hips are involuntarily lifted. Frequent, spastic contractions of hip muscles occur. Frequent cramps in the gluteal muscles prevent sexual intercourse.
Level : When spasm occurs, not only the buttock muscle group is spasmodically contracted, buttocks are involuntarily lifted up. The patient's legs are adducted and the entire body is retreated back as much as possible, yelling, and a panic reaction occurs. This is not a result of actual sexual intercourse or gynecological examinations, but a response to the approach and hunch of the sexual partner or examiner. A panic reaction occurs whenever sexual activity or examination is anticipated.
