Botulinum toxin treatment of refractory vaginismus: a prospective study.
Injecting submucosally modest BoNTA doses is an effective and safe treatment for refractory vaginismus. When conventional therapies fail, BoNTA can be used to lessen muscle contraction, alleviate pain, and facilitate dilator treatments. Our standardized protocol, which involves a careful submucosal injection technique, can minimize risks and make the procedure easy to perform for daily practice.
