Meghan Trainor spoke about her vaginismus, but all anyone wants to talk about is her husband's penis.

Right now, there are people all over the world who have been diagnosed with vaginismus. Singer Meghan Trainor is one of those women.

We found this out when the singer opened up about her struggle with the condition to Trisha Paytas on her podcast, Workin' On It.

However, while the pregnant star was speaking about her medical condition, a deluge of headlines, viral tweets and social media discussions have all centred around just one thing: the size of her husband's penis.

Watch: What is vaginismus? Post continues after video. 

Vaginismus is a condition that can make vaginal penetration extremely difficult to near impossible due to the vaginal muscles spasming at random times – especially during sex, medical exams, or even when inserting a tampon.

It's a painful, at times almost unbearable condition to deal with – something Trainor revealed on the podcast.

"My husband [Daryl Sabara] is a big boy. My pussy is broken, though. I have pussy anxiety," she told Paytas, explaining that penetrative sex with her husband gets "to the point where I’m like, ‘Is it all in?' and he’s like, 'Just the tip.'"

"As he would penetrate, I would be like, 'Ow, ow, ow,' like to the point when I was making this baby, I had to ice myself after."

Trainor added she wishes she could "make Daryl smaller. It's painful, dude," before revealing her doctor had diagnosed her with vaginismus.

And while Trainor was speaking about a serious health issue that impacts many women worldwide, it seems that this mention of the size of her husband's member became the main discussion point for media outlets and social media everywhere.

"Meghan Trainor Spills NSFW Details on Her Sex Life With Daryl Sabara."

"Meghan Trainor Explains What Her Husband’s D**k Looks Like."

"Pregnant Meghan Trainor Says She 'Can’t Walk' After Sex With Husband Daryl Sabara, Wishes He Was 'Smaller'."

"'Tacky' Meghan Trainor slammed for 'TMI' confession about Daryl Sabara’s penis."

These aren't the kinds of headlines you'd want to read about yourself after disclosing details a serious medical condition that affects as many as 16 in 100 women.

People with vaginismus can experience such intense pressure in their vagina that inserting almost anything – from a penis or a sex toy to a tampon – is painful, if not excruciating. Meaning Trainor's pain during sex comes down to a lot more than the size of her husband's penis. Yet these kinds of headlines pull focus from the real issue at hand: women's health.

Many of the tweets that followed also failed to address the real message in Trainor's interview. Instead, they criticised the singer for sharing "too much", and told Trainor to "lube up" or "try harder" instead of "complaining". 

While a few jumped to the star's defence, it's clear that most people simply missed the point.

Listen to this episode of The Sealed Section. Post continues below. 

Trainor may have spoken in her trademark joking fashion on the podcast, but the issue she was tackling is no laughing matter. 

Vaginismus is a complicated condition that impacts those with vaginas not only physically but also mentally. And while it can be treated, it can be difficult to diagnose, potentially leaving sufferers in the dark about the cause of their pain for years.

It's a condition that is cloaked in stigma and shame, with many unaware just how painful and debilitating it can be.

Emma Gilman, who struggled with pain during sex for four years before visiting a doctor, told Mamamia her experience getting a diagnosis was difficult.

"When I finally came to terms with needing to get it treated, the first doctor I went to left me humiliated and ashamed," she explained. "The only explanation for the pain he gave me was that my boyfriend’s 'penis was too large, and my hole was too small.'"

Trainor's comments could have been a moment for education and new learnings; it could've opened up a discussion about a complex issue, and increased pathways to diagnosis and treatment for people experiencing painful sex. Instead, it became a conversation about d**k size.

Go figure.
