Summary
Vaginismus is a sexual dysfunction characterized by involuntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles that prevent vaginal penetration. This condition is often associated with intense fear, anxiety, and avoidance behaviors. Vaginismus can negatively impact not only sexual life but also gynecological examination processes, psychosocial well-being, and quality of life. In cases of vaginismus, where psychological components play a significant role, it is believed that virtual reality technology can reduce fear and avoidance behaviors by providing a safe and controlled environment. In particular, relaxing nature images and distracting visual content are expected to contribute to the treatment process by reducing anxiety levels. This study aims to evaluate the effects of virtual reality applications added to the standard approach in vaginismus treatment, and music therapy combined with virtual reality, on treatment success, pain level, anxiety level, and patient satisfaction.
