I’ve been dealing with tightness/discomfort in the left side of the vaginal area since mid July, when a huge anxiety flare-up gave me a habit of clenching on that side. In other words, it’s been around 10 months. I’ve tried many types of stretches (hypopressives seem to help some; I’ve just started trying to do internal release with a finger but it’s making me feel sore so far).

Some days are better than others.

In the fall I had 2 months of external PT, mostly yoga poses, but was discharged still pretty symptomatic after she said she’s “taught me all she could”.

Anyway, I‘m feeling sad and if anyone here managed to recover from hypertonic pelvic floor issues *after* the 1-year mark or even 2-year mark, I want to hear from you. I need hope that it’s actually possible.

I‘ve been struggling with pelvic floor issues since mid July, and since early September I have had a spot in the lower left of my vaginal opening that pokes when I put pressure on it. I just want it gone…

My gyn does not notice any visible problems there. I had 2 months of external pelvic PT but the therapist seemed unsure what to do about that spot. There don’t seem to be that many resources where I live, so I feel very lost.

I do want to add that the poky spot is in the area where I was clenching most last summer when my anxiety got bad.

Can this be a knot of tight muscles? Can anyone offer some insight into how to treat it? Is it too late?
