This Episode is close to my heart because here in a listener reached out to me about her experience with 'Vaginismus' and said that so little is spoken and even done to bring about a respectable acceptance of the condition and so wishes more was spoken about the condition.

In 2022, here we are with Dr Niveditha trying to learn about the condition that 'Vaginismus' is and when one thinks they may have it, how do they approach the situation.

Dr Niveditha is an Indian Venereologist and a clinician in Sexual Health who specializes in HIV medicine, currently based in Syndey , Australia. She is well known on Instagram by her handle Dr_nive_untaboos.

Speaks about
1) How to approach Vaginismus?
2) Differentiate between manifesting what you have been told and if you actually have it?
3) Partner support
