  3. Respected Captain Ajit – My husband and I regularly read your blogs. We would like to express our gratitude for sharing your invaluable knowledge. It has made great difference in our lives. I have a very personal question to ask you. I request you to delete the comment once I receive your advice.

    I am a 32 year old female. We are married for 8 years now. My husband and I have been trying for baby for the last 4 years. I have been diagnosed with “vaginismus”. Since it is not happening naturally, we decided on trying out IUI on Natural cycle (without any medication). Our Test result was positive but the Pregnancy was not viable because of low Progesterone.

    Here are few test results that were performed prior IUI.
    FSH - 19.3 mIU/ml
    Estradiol - 9.2 pg/ml
    AMH - 0.018 ng/ml
    TSH -1.880 uIU/ml
    Prolactin - 19.6 ng/ml

    My Husband’s test results were all Normal.

    We both are of the opinion that if we are to get pregnant it should be naturally and not through Artificial procedures or Hormonal supplements.
    We would like your advice or any guidance that you could provide on what Natural herbs or supplements would help us because of low AMH (Egg Reserve). Do you recommend any Ayurvedic center for treatment/Consultation?

    Thanks for your help in advance


    1. hi aw,

      there are so many women like you.

      you are still young-- there is NO tearing hurry to go for artificial means atleast for another 2 years .




      Vaginismus does not interfere with sexual arousal, but it can prevent penetration.

      Vaginismus is a learned reflex. A useful way to look at it is to compare it to getting a finger in our eye. We’ve all been poked in the eye at some time in our life and if we see a finger or other object approaching our eyes, we shut them automatically.

      In the same way, a woman with vaginismus has had an experience of painful intercourse (or other object in the vagina).

      Later on when she or someone else tries to insert an object in the vagina, the vagina “shuts” to protect itself from pain without the woman even being conscious of it. The muscle spasm is what causes the pain and that is definitely real.

      The truth is that women with vaginismus don’t need to “stretch” anything; they need to learn to control the muscles around the vagina

      The pain with vaginismus occurs only with penetration.

      There are many couples who have been together for years but have never had intercourse because of vaginismus.

      They may even have had children by means of a “splash pregnancy” (the man ejaculates near the vaginal opening and sperm make their way up the vagina). BY KEEPING SOME PILLOWS UNDER THE ASS - to allow the sperm easier swimming to the target by gravity.

      The tightness is actually caused by involuntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles surrounding the vagina. The woman does not directly control or 'will' the tightness to occur; it is an involuntary pelvic response. She may not even have any awareness that the muscle response is causing the tightness or penetration problem.

      Vaginismus is the main cause of unconsummated relationships. The tightness can be so restrictive that the opening to the vagina is 'closed off' altogether and the man is unable to insert his penis. The pain of vaginismus ends when the sexual attempt stops, and usually intercourse must be halted due to pain or discomfort.



      Squeeze the muscles.
      Hold for 2 seconds.
      Relax the muscles.

      After a few days, insert one finger , up to about the first knuckle joint, inside the vagina while doing the exercises. It's a good idea to clip your fingernails first and use a lubricating WATER SOLUBLE jelly. Or do the exercises in a bathtub, where water is a natural lubricant.

      Start with one finger and work your way up to three. You'll feel the vagina's muscles contracting around your finger, and you can always take your finger out if you're not comfortable.





      Vaginismus is a much more common problem than you may realize. Women with vaginismus tend to be very embarrassed about it and not mention it to anyone.. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

      The good news is that there is a cure for vaginismus; it simply involves learning how to control and relax the muscles that are tightening involuntarily. The bad news is that this does not happen overnight and requires you to do “exercises” for several weeks How long it takes for the exercises to work depends on how faithful you are in doing them

      During the time period that you are doing the exercises, you should avoid intercourse. It may be hard to explain to your partner that you won’t be having intercourse for several weeks

      Dyspareunia is a term that describes painful intercourse. It may be confused with vaginismus. Dyspareunia encompasses sexual pain from a variety of sources. The pain could be due to cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, or vaginal atrophy. Although vaginismus is one of the conditions that can contribute to dyspareunia, all dyspareunia is not necessarily vaginismus.

      If a woman has enjoyed normal sexual intercourse for years and suddenly finds that penetration is painful or not possible, this is considered secondary vaginismus. In secondary vaginismus, women usually experience a temporary pelvic pain, caused by infection and this causes and the vagina to build a defense against intercourse.

  4. Thanks for your reply, Appreciate it a lot. I did some research on Vaginismus and practiced few techniques and was able to overcome this problem to some extent.
    I am now able to undergo Medical examination and was able to do couple of Ultrasounds which was impossible for me few months back.
    Now my concern is after blood tests my Doctor says my Progesterone and AMH levels are very low for my age and egg reserve is very low.
    This is causing me lot of worry , can you please advise on any natural herbs or Ayurvedic medicine which would help me conceive naturally.

    I read your post on CHEMBU KIZHNGU or Colocasia., I have started consuming it. We are thinking if the climate or soil has all the magic where it is grown.
