"Cure" vaginismus?Hey guys,What do people like to call "curing" vaginismus? I've heard all of these: "Cure vaginismus" "overcome vaginismus" "treat vaginismus" "beat vaginismus" personally I like "transcend vaginismus" but it may not be very clear what we mean... Here's the definition of transcend, which I really like (from answers.com): [i]v. tr. 1. To pass beyond the limits of 2. To be greater than, as in intensity or power; surpass: See synonyms at excel. 3. To exist above and independent of (material experience or the universe) v.intr. To be transcendent; excel. [/i] What word(s) do you like? Hate?? infiliata |

Transcend..
Cool word. I use "healing" but I often mean it the way you mean transcend. It's just easier to spell

hee hee...haha...I like 'healing'. That's a good one. |

I use 'overcome' (kind of in the sense of 'transcending', but a bit more clunky I guess!).
I don't mind 'treat' either, but 'cure' suggests that vag. is a disease, and I don't like that implication. |

Yeah, I like overcome too. I sometimes use cure although I too don't like it as it sounds like you're curing a disease. So I try to use overcome now. Transcend is good too but it sounds a bit over the top for some situations.

I like "heal" also, because that word has lots of positive connotations for me.

Hey!
I personally prefer "overcome" as it makes it like an obstacle that i need to give myself time to get over. Gayle and BrevisMus - It is funny that you used the word "disease". I got really angry the other day when I was looking for more info on vag and came across sites that describe it as a disease! I couldn't believe it! Although I suppose it does fit into the dictionary definition, it just seems so wrong to refer to it as that. Here are some examples: http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-621513/vaginismus http://www.mykamasutra-positions.com/vaginismus.html Scroll down to the "how to get rid of it" section (nicely worded btw!) and you will see how they refer to the main cause of the "disease". Am I the only one that finds this a little on the insulting side?!? Vicki |
