JAKARTA – Penis captivus or penis can occur during penetration. Many people think that this event is a curse. Medically, penile captivus occurs due to vaginismus.

Penis captivus occurs when the male sex organ gets stuck in the vagina during sexual activity, namely penetration. This incident rarely occurs, but it is necessary to know the cause so that it is not misunderstood.

Gancet, the layman's name for the captivus penis, reported by Kompas, Thursday, September 9, occurs when a woman's lower pelvic muscles contract so strongly that the penis is pinched during penetration.

These contractions make the shaft of the penis unable to come out of the vagina during an erection. Because it is pinched, the penis is getting bigger. The effect is getting harder to get out of the vagina.

Medical research on cases of penile captivus is not extensive and thorough. However, in general the cause of gancet occurs due to the following two factors:

Enlarged penis

When erect, the size of the penis will increase. Blood flow is also concentrated in this area, causing penile captivus.

Vaginal wall expands

The vaginal wall is composed of muscle tissue that expands when it contracts. These muscles pulsate less during penetration. If the contractions are increasing will narrow the vaginal opening.

Uncontrollable muscle contractions are called vaginismus. The narrowing of the vaginal opening and the enlargement of the shaft of the penis during penetration are factors that cause penile captivus.

To overcome this, what you can do is stay relaxed and don't panic. The more panicked, the more muscle contractions increased. So stay calm and try to reduce sexual arousal to reduce the work of the muscles in contracting.

If the steps above cannot overcome penile captivus, it is necessary to immediately go to the ER to get quick medical help.
