Things to Consider in Vaginismus Finger Exercises

There are factors to be considered while doing finger exercises for vaginismus. Being in a comfortable position increases the effectiveness of the exercises.

After that, each knuckle of the little finger should be inserted into the vagina at weekly intervals. As long as the three knuckles in the little finger can be inserted, the middle and index fingers should be inserted into the vagina. After the fingers are inserted separately, the person is asked to relax even more and then insert both fingers into the vagina at the same time. After this process is completed, the exercise should be done with two fingers of the partner. The patient's partner should open two fingers when their fingers enter the vagina. In this way, after the vagina can be opened easily, it is recommended that the couple have sexual intercourse.
