from my contribution at IAAUG Conference ✨

It was a pleasure to deliver a lecture on Vaginismus and Dyspareunia in day 1; sharing knowledge and engaging in valuable discussions with colleagues.

Then in day; I had the honor of leading the MESPRT Sexual Medicine Workshop, which was provided as an in-depth overview of Psychos*xual Medicine and highlighted its essential role in everyday gynecological practice. The session focused on equipping gynecologists with practical approaches to assessing and managing psychos*xual concerns, emphasizing the importance of integrating s*xual medicine into comprehensive women's healthcare. The workshop was highly interactive, with engaging discussions and valuable clinical insights.

Now it's time to say... Goodbye, Cairo!👋
Until next time.. ❤️

Highlights from my lecture at the American Association of Gynecology Conference on the silent epidemic in women's health: Sexual Dysfunction.

من محاضرتي في مؤتمر الجمعية الأمريكية لأمراض النساء والتوليد بعنوان:

"الاضطرابات الجنسية لدى المرأة.. الوباء الصامت في صحة المرأة."

تشرفت بمشاركة أحدث الرؤى العلمية حول هذا الموضوع المهم، الذي لا يزال من أكثر القضايا الصحية لدى السيدات انتشارًا وأقلها نقاشًا.

Vaginismus does not affect your ability to feel s*xual desire, become aroused, or experience or***ms through non-penetrative activities.

If you are experiencing any of the following signs, you can contact me for online assistance and consultation; **Dr. Wafaa Eltantawy**, Consultant Psychos*xual and Relationship Therapist & GMC-accredited Gynecologist.

Vaginismus is the involuntary tightening of your pelvic floor muscles when pe*******on is attempted, making the experience painful, difficult, or impossible.

It is an automatic physical reflex and is entirely treatable, often through pelvic floor therapy, s*xual therapy...

**Symptoms vary widely in severity but typically present in the following ways:**

**Painful Pe*******on:** A burning, stinging, or aching sensation during in*******se. Partners may sometimes describe the feeling as "hitting a wall."

**Insertion Difficulty:** Inability, or extreme difficulty, in inserting tampons, menstrual cups, or medical tools like a speculum during a pelvic exam.

**Anxiety and Avoidance:** Anticipatory anxiety or intense fear surrounding s*xual intimacy, leading to the avoidance of in*******se or gynecological exams.

**Physical Tension:** Uncontrollable tightening of the vaginal opening, and occasionally radiating muscle spasms or tension in the lower back, hips, and abdomen.

Break the cycle of pain and tension and share your thoughts in comments.

Causes of Vaginismus ⁉️Hello, I'm Dr. Wafaa ElTantawy, Consultant in Psychos*xual Medicine, Relationship Therapist and Women's Health Specialist in London.

Vaginismus is a condition where the muscles around the vaginal opening tighten involuntarily, making pe*******on difficult or painful. The causes are often a combination of psychological and physical factors, and they vary from one woman to another.

Main Psychological Causes:
- Fear and Anxiety: Fear of pain, worry about s*x, or general stress that puts the body into "protection mode."
- Past Negative Experiences: Painful attempts at in*******se, uncomfortable s*xual experiences, or previous s*xual trauma.
- Cultural and Upbringing Influences: Negative beliefs about s*x, strict warnings during childhood or adolescence that link intimacy with shame or pain.
- Relationship Issues: Emotional pressure from a partner, lack of trust, or feeling emotionally unsafe.
- Mental Health Factors: Ongoing anxiety or depression that affects the body's natural responses.

Main Physical Causes:
- Infections and Inflammation: Recurrent vaginal infections, thrush, or vaginal dryness.
- Hormonal Changes: Especially after childbirth or during menopause.
- Injuries or Medical Procedures: Tears during delivery, pelvic surgeries, or previous injuries.
- Muscle Tension: Chronic tightness in the pelvic floor muscles due to constipation, stress, or poor habits.

In many cases, a minor physical issue can trigger the problem, and then anxiety reinforces the muscle spasm, creating a persistent cycle.

Understanding your personal causes is the first important step toward effective healing.

سبب عدم إكمال العملية الجنسية ⁉️ لا يوجد طرف واحد مسؤول عن العملية الجنسية .. ويرجع السبب عادةً لأسباب كثيرة منها قلة الوعي والمعرفة لدى الطرفين ومنها اسباب جسدية أو نفسية؛ منها مشكلة في العلاقة العاطفية والتواصل بين الزوجين..

او مشاكل عند الزوج مثل: ضعف الانتصاب، او القذف المبكر أو المتأخر، او نتيجة لأمراض مزمنة (كالسكري وأمراض القلب)، او الآثار الجانبية للأدوية (مثل مضادات الاكتئاب)، او مشكلة نفسية؛ زي التوتر او ضغوطات الحياة

التواصل الفعال بين الطرفين وطلب المساعدة من متخصص يصنع الفرق في علاج المشكلة

Why s*xual intimacy might not be completed❓

It's important to remember that **no single partner is solely responsible** for intimacy in a relationship. This challenge is usually the result of multiple factors rather than one specific cause.

Common reasons often include:

- A lack of awareness or knowledge on both sides.
- Physical or psychological factors.
- Emotional relationship difficulties or challenges in communication between spouses.

It may also stem from issues experienced by the husband, such as:
- Erectile dysfunction
- Premature or delayed ej*******on
- Chronic health conditions (such as diabetes or heart disease)
- Side effects from certain medications (for example, antidepressants)
- Psychological factors, including stress or the pressures of daily life

This is a common and treatable concern for many couples. Approaching it with understanding, open communication, and professional support when needed can make a significant positive difference.

Advancing psychos*xual and relationship therapy throughout the Middle East—especially in Egypt—has always been one of my greatest passions. 🌏✨

Supporting the education and training of doctors, psychos*xual therapists, psychologists, and healthcare professionals is a mission I deeply value. 🥰

Today, I am truly happy and grateful that we have delivered our first MESPRT webinar. Moments like these remind me why education, collaboration, and culturally sensitive, evidence-based practice are so important in improving s*xual wellbeing and relationship health across our communities. Hoping to see you soon in our next week webinar. ☺️
