Hello everyone!
I have hit the one year anniversary of my successful treatment. A year later I’m able to have enjoyable sex with my husband and we continue to make progress. I still dilate about 1 hour 2-3 times a week and before sex. I have faith that it will keep getting better and I will grow personally and together with my husband. Thinking back, it really is amazing what happened to me a year ago.
A close friend of mine first ssuggested that I might have vaginismus after 4-5 years in a sexless marriage. Luckily I have an amazing husband and amazing friends. Doctors just told me to see a sex therapist, but I couldn’t afford to travel to one or pay one. Luckily I discovered Dr. Pacik. Instant improvement and continued progress since then. I do hope to see a sex therapist in the future to make more progress toward pleasure.
I believe that the vaginismus originated (at least in part) from a childhood condition. to this day, i don’t really know what it was, but my labia would seal shut and have to be ripped apart if I didn’t sleep in a certain position. It was very painful and traumatizing. This lasted until I started my period. I’m wondering if anyone else had a similar experience as a child. Anyone?
I look forward to being a more active part of this forum. Lovely to be here with you all.
