Pain pain - Provoked Vestibulodynia
Hi everyone,
I've done pelvic floor physiotherapy for vaginism, followed the exercises, and used vaginal dilators. My condition has improved a lot, and I'm now able to insert the largest dilator without any major issues.
BUT, I still experience bad pain at the vaginal opening. It feels like burning or sometimes like a cut, and it often makes penetration impossible. If penetration does happen, even a little friction quickly makes the pain much worse.
Another issue is that after intercourse I often get UTI-like symptoms.
I always use plenty of lubricant.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Did anything help, treatment, medication, or anything else?
Thank you so much for any advice or experiences you're willing to share 💕
