I haven’t had this procedure yet but am a bit nosy 🙂 May I ask why pelvic exams are difficult after this procedure? I thought this procedure was meant to overcome vaginismus. Was it more of an emotional discomfort than physical? I just want to know what I can expect. How long has it been since you had your surgery? Thanks.

Thank you everyone! Is it safe to attempt pregnancy once you are able to have sex after this procedure? I have the dilators but I know they won’t work. I really just wanted to try them to see if I could beat this without “surgery”. Nobody really wants to need surgery for a problem like this. I’m relieved to know that it seems to work well for most women. I just wish there was FDA approval and more research to validate its safety.

I’m also confused by my GYN’s recommendation for a pelvic exam under anesthesia. Won’t it still be blocked down there with or without sedation? How will they be able to perform an exam while my muscles are in spasm? Does the anesthesia relax the muscles? If so, what is the need for botox in Dr. Pacik’s procedure? Why not just insert a dialator under anesthesia without botox??? Wouldn’t it work the same way? I’d be more comfortable doing it that way. Just curious.
