Vaginismus Anyone?
| Sat, 10-15-2005 - 8:58am |
Anybody out there with vaginismus? I have been married for 5 years with this problem and have yet to have complete full penetration. I am so frusterated and really having a hard time overcoming this. I would love to find someone else who is going through this or has overcome it so I know I am not losing my mind.
Believe it or not, we got pregnant with our DD by using an eye dropper because I couldn't wait any longer to have a child. Even after giving birth I can still not relax to have sex! Seems impossible. I totally don't understand myself.





Hi Emily, welcome to the Sexual Health Board!
We have had members post with symptoms of Vaginismus but there are a lot of other problems involving vaginal pain that might also be the cause. I’m sure you have researched it already but here are articles about Vaginismus: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001487.htm Dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse): http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003157.htm and Vulvodynia: http://www.nva.org/about_vulvodynia/what_is_vulvodynia.html
You are welcome to stick around but it would be a good idea for you to post to a wonderful iVillage Vulvodynia Support Board: http://messageboards.ivillage.com/n/mb/listsf.asp?webtag=iv-bhvulvodynia&nav=start They are a friendly group of women who know what you are going through and who can offer support and advice. Thanks for posting I hope the ladies on VS can help you. I hope you will come back and let us know if they are able to help. The very best of luck
Hugs,

Hon, if you haven't posted to the Vulvodynia board already I think you really should. There are women there with all sorts of vaginal pain issues not 'only' Vulvodynia and they have a lot of knowledge and experience so they may be able to help you. You have been dealing with the problem alone for 5 years, why not post on Vulvodynia Support and see if they can help?
Hugs,
Jill
Yeah, ok. Guess it can't hurt huh. I will see who is over there. Thanks.
