ParticipantElaine,
I totally agree with Heather. Vaginismus takes a toll on us emotionally and fear becomes prevalent in our lives. There IS light at the end of the tunnel and I can’t wait for you to experience it! Take your time, maybe just keep in close contact with your new love (not closing the door completely) and get ready to experience life on the other side of Vaginismus…It’s amazing!
Best of luck to you!

ParticipantI too was introduced to the term Vaginimus by way of the Tyra Banks Show. Although I always knew that there was something wrong, like you, I thought that I was alone and I had no idea that “it” had a name.
My boyfriend actually was watching the show and called to tell me that he thought the guest on the show described experiences that were very similar to mine. I decided to do some research. My research led me to Dr. P and I will forever be grateful.
God blessed women with intuition and if we listen and remain in tune, we can never go wrong. My suggestion would be to go with your gut in terms of making a decision.
I can relate to your fear, as I was in the same predicament. I decided to have my boyfriend join me and I am so glad that I did. He has always been loving and supportive but didn’t completely understand what I was going through until he saw me under anesthetic practically jump off the table when my Vulva was touched. Also, post-procedure it is important to have the support of a close friend who understands, as you will still be working through some angst with dilation and the introduction to intercourse.
Decide with your heart, step out on faith and know that your best days are ahead of you…This procedure will change your life forever and your future husband my be a part of the journey!
Best of luck to you!

ParticipantHi Heather! Yes, I remember the show! Thank you and thanks for all you do!
My pleasure Dr. P! I will continue to share and offer encouragement.
Nakitalab be encouraged! It gets better with time. I felt the same way but I’ve found that our Vagina is just like a rubber band it will stretch with no problem when you need it to. You will continue to have your moments but that time will come when you are convinced. Hang in there!

ParticipantHi Sarah!
Hang in there because it will better and so much easier. I used to dilate every night and sometimes even slept with pink. I don’t think that you can ever dilate too much…You are just exercising and that is good for you!

ParticipantI was so nervous that I needed to be sedated. It is so normal to be nrevous.
I didn’t need a pillow.
You will do fine and your life WILL be changed forever!

ParticipantHey everyone!
I’m Tabia, a 37 year old former Vaginismus sufferer. I was treated in July.
Lou, I thought the same thing but I tell you IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! Having had the same feeling that you did, I don’t think anyone can actually prepare you for what’s about to happen but trust me after suffering for 22 years, I began operating like I have been having sex for years after 2 weeks. Best of luck to you on your new journey!
