You could find that your vagina and labia change as you get older and after you’ve delivered children vaginally. These changes may cause functional issues, or you may simply prefer a younger, tighter appearance. Vaginoplasty may be your answer.
Vaginismus, sometimes known as vaginism, is a medical condition in which a woman's vagina seizes up or cramps when attempting sexual intercourse. This problem can also occur when attempting to insert a tampon. Vaginismus can lead to the condition known as dyspareunia, or “painful sex.”

Symptoms of primary vaginismus and secondary vaginismus include:

Physical causes of vaginismus include:

Regardless of the root cause, vaginismus is treatable. Some possible treatments for vaginismus include:
