Hands Off the Hymen!

Psst... Did you know that vaginismus, also known as genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder, cannot be cured by hymen surgeries?

Unfortunately, far too many women who suffer from vaginismus still undergo hymen surgery — often called "hymenectomy" or procedures to "expand" the vaginal opening — in the hope of solving their pain during intimacy. But let me be clear: this is almost always completely unnecessary.

Only in very rare medical cases — such as congenital anomalies of the hymen — is surgical intervention truly indicated. The vast majority of women experiencing pain, fear of penetration, or an inability to have intercourse are not dealing with a hymenal problem, but rather with a fear-based muscle reflex rooted in the pelvic floor and nervous system.

I’m Dr. Julia Reeve, a gynecologist, psychotherapist, and sexologist — and I say it clearly:
👉 Hands off the hymen!

Vaginismus is not solved with a scalpel.
It is best treated with a gentle, step-by-step approach that addresses the underlying fear of penetration, emotional blocks, and automatic body responses. With the right support, most women can make progress without surgery, without shame, and without force.

I offer professional guidance and a structured method that combines medical knowledge with psychological support — so you can take back control of your body, enjoy pain-free intimacy, and move toward a fulfilling sexual life.

Let’s replace fear with facts. Let’s stop harmful myths and focus on evidence-based vaginismus treatment that truly works.
You're not alone — and your body is not broken.
