I am 31F, nurse, no kids. I have been suffering from tearing during sex for the past 4 years and was recently diagnosed with Lichen Sclerosis which is a rollercoaster in itself since I need to let treatment work before I have sex again.

Yesterday, while examining my vulva and surrounding areas (and feeling extremely hopeful that things are looking better) I noticed a bulge in my vaginal opening. I knew prolapses happen but usually with postpartum or old age. My heart stopped for a few seconds because I couldn’t understand why all of this is happening to me. I booked an appointment with a Pelvic floor physio for tomorrow but I feel really broken down and also hopeless that things will ever get better for me, intimacy wise especially.

I have a very supportive partner but I can’t help but feel bad for him having someone like me when he could be with someone completely normal without any problems. I am feeling so alone, so isolated and asking myself why does this keep happening to me!

I feel so defeated. Please tell me your success stories with just exercises. I really do not want to insert any pessaries or have surgeries. I am really counting on strengthening my pelvic floor and maybe get rid of all these problems once and for all.

Thank you
