Pelvic floor dysfunction and painful penetration
A pelvic-health article grounded in the source site's vaginismus and pelvic floor dysfunction material, focused on painful penetration, hypertonicity, and multidisciplinary care.

Why this topic maps to Pelvic Health
Although the source site places this topic under pain conditions, it repeatedly emphasizes pelvic floor hypertonicity, exam tolerance, painful penetration, and the role of pelvic floor physical therapy. Those elements make it a better primary fit for the Pelvic Health Center, with cross-links back into vulvodynia and sexuality pages.
This is a good example of why the migration needs center mapping instead of simple one-to-one copying: the best AnnaHealth home for a source page is not always the same as the original site's top-nav category.
Core ideas to preserve in the native article
The source page frames painful penetration as multidimensional, involving medical factors, pelvic floor hypertonicity, psychosocial and behavioral factors, and relationship context. It also makes clear that older distinctions between dyspareunia and vaginismus are imperfect and often overlap clinically.
A native article should preserve that multidisciplinary framing while translating it into clear patient language around assessment, muscle tension, fear avoidance, pelvic floor therapy, desensitization, and coordinated treatment planning.
How it should connect inside the repository
This page should become a Pelvic Health anchor article that links outward to vulvar pain and vulvodynia, sexuality-related pain, and any future physical-therapy or postpartum recovery content. It can also support AI routing for questions about tampon pain, penetration difficulty, pelvic floor tension, or exam intolerance.
