Botox treatments may help women who suffer from vaginal muscle spasms, says an expert u00a0 MSNBC.com reported that Botulinum Toxin A, the active ingredient in drugs such as Botox and Dysport, could help treat severe cases of vaginismus, vaginal spasms that affect women''s ability to be sexually penetrated. u00a0 Dr. Peter Pacik, a New Hampshire surgeon, is conducting an FDA-approved clinical trial testing the use of Botox on female patients who experience painful burning sensations and vaginal muscle contractions that make having sex nearly impossible. u00a0 Pacik said that as many as 6 percent of women worldwide suffer from the muscle spasms caused by a reflex reaction to sex, reports the New York Daily News. u00a0 The condition has been linked to women who have experienced sexual abuse or have grown up thinking sex is immoral, he said. u00a0 Pacik said a shot of Botox at the entrance of the vagina works similarly to the way it does on the face, allowing muscles to relax. u00a0 Of the 78 women who have been treated by Pacik, all but one have been cured after a single session.
