I’ve been seeing another urologist since I have to get up multiple times from bed to urinate. So far no talk of a catheter. I saw a doctor because I was bleeding between periods. She was unable to do a pelvic exam and pap smear for me. I was in too much pain. She referred me to a gynecologist. She couldn’t do exam or smear either. I was officially told I had vaginismus, something I’ve suspected for years. She referred me to a physical therapist to work on my pelvic floor muscles. The gynecologist said I can discuss other options for what to do with vaginismus if the physical therapy doesn’t work.

The Pacik dilators arrived, but I kept postponing using them. I finally used #3 with coconut oil. I felt a little pain half-way in. I stopped and waited a bit, then gently pushed it farther in. My struggle as I did it was related to the sexual and physical abuse I’ve been through. I was also nervous about feeling the pain I did at my two pap smears in the past.

I got it all the way inside, but when I stood up the dilator fell out. How do you deal with that?

Thank you everyone. I bought coconut oil at a local store and am waiting for the Pacik dilators to arrive.

Thank you everyone for your support. I ordered the Pakic dilators 3, 4, 5, and 6. At a local store, I bought coconut oil.

Thank you ladies. I’ll schedule an appointment with my doctor then.
