Hi Ladies. Dr. P posted an excellent blog today about dilators and resistance. He wrote “residual fear of being ripped apart and continued fear of penile penetration are common in patients overcoming vaginismus after treatment with the Botox program.” I think this is an excellent topic for a daily question – FEARS.
Immediately after my procedure, I remember wanting to dilate all of the time and being afraid that if I didn’t, then it suddenly would no longer work and I wouldn’t be able to. This was probably one of my biggest fears during the first few days post-procedure. To get over this, I told myself over and over again – “I was able to successfully dilate at Dr. P’s clinic … it fit once with no pain … it will fit again.” This worked wonders for me as I “knew” it would go in as it already had in the past.
Are there any residual fears that you may have following the procedure? What has helped you to overcome these fears?
