After getting married through a setup, Ms. Ellen and her husband found their intimate life completely stalled for over six months. Every attempt at intimacy left Ms. Liu in severe pain. At first, her husband was understanding, assuming she was just overly anxious. But as month after month passed without any progress, his patience wore thin, leading to frequent arguments and leaving Ms. Liu feeling deeply misunderstood and frustrated.
A friend eventually suggested she consult a gynecologist. The diagnosis? Vaginismus—an involuntary muscle spasm that was the root cause of her severe pain during sex. Following a structured treatment plan, her symptoms eased significantly, and she and her husband were later able to conceive.
