If you're one of the many women who avoids sex because of pain, can't put in a tampon because it hurts too much, or avoids going to the OBGYN because the idea of an internal exam is overwhelming, you may be experiencing vaginismus. Vaginismus is a condition where the vaginal muscles involuntarily spasm or tighten, making any kind of penetration extremely painful. We don't know exactly how many women suffer from this condition, because understandably, it can be a difficult subject to bring up to the doctor. But if you ask an OBGYN, he or she will tell you it's more common than you think. Join us to hear from Tracy MacNeal, President and CEO, Maternal Medical, a company which created a device to address this problem.
