Both sexually experienced and inexperienced women can develop vaginismus. Primary vaginismus occurs when a woman has never, at any time, been able to have pain-free intercourse. They often are unable to insert anything: the doctor's finger or speculum, when they need a Pap smear or vaginal examination; their own or partner's finger; or even a tampon. Secondary vaginismus occurs when a woman who previously has enjoyed intercourse without pain, develops the condition later.

Most of us would be more familiar with chicken pox or shingles borne of a similar viral behaviour by hiding in the nervous system until a reason to be noxious e.g. stress, delivers a debilitating expression like a blister. Until medications became available two decades ago (or even today) discussions on genital herpes and...
For men who have testicular cancer, where treatment option is the removal of the affected testicle the appearance may look the same from the outside or there may be a noticeable void and a testicular implant could restore the appearance. There are other reasons one may wish to receive an implant including cryptorchidism or anorchism/genetic or birth defect.
