Vaginismus can, and frequently does occur later in life following years of pain-free or pleasurable intercourse. This form of vaginismus is called secondary vagnismus Symptoms may vary widely from simple discomfort to intense burning sensations upon penetration to inability to penetrate altogether. Sometimes the cause may not be apparent, other times it may stem from a wide range of medical/physical conditions such as discomfort from inadequate lubrication to more painful experiences such as childbirth, surgery, hormonal changes, or other health issues (see Causes). It can also be triggered in response to a traumatic emotional situation, such as a spouse's infidelity.
