Any inspiring stories of overcoming Vaginismus?

I suffer from vaginismus, I know everything about it & I am currently using the dilators to treat it. I would love to hear other women's success stories as this gives me encouragement and inspiration. Sometimes I feel I'll never get past this.

Hi, I'm very sorry that you suffer from this disorder. I know from firsthand experience how frustrating it is.

Before I offer my encouragement, I'd like to address the website that another user referred - womentc.com. I'm sure they are very good at what they do, but they cost $10,000 USD with no guarantee for success. They also told me that I would never overcome vaginismus without their treatment process. Guess I sure showed them...

Dilators are definately your best source for overcoming. I know they're uncomfortable, and you probably hate them as much as I did, but ultimately they worked for me. You WILL get past this. I know sometimes it feels like you're the only one in the world.

You know, there are yahoo groups that you can join for support. Try the one called PrimaryVaginismus. It will probably be the most supportive for you.

Best of luck.

hello dezia, i really can't help you yet.......because i am being seen by my OB/GYN man at the beginning of the week and i am probably going to be diagnosed with this little charmer when i do see him....due to my symptoms........i won't go into it .............
but yoou know what it is, right???? and it ain't fun !!!!!!!!
i feel sorry for both of us

I am currently experiencing the same problem, and am very discouraged as well. I hope someday that sex will be a plesant experience for both of us.

Many hugs and wish you the best. Never know that something could happen.

Hi Deziah. I suffer from vaginismus too. The ObGyn didn't help me, I was told they are really not trained to treat such problem, and are not aggresive enough to look for solutions. I've had therapy, and tried relaxing, lots of foreplay and cuddling, but didn't work either. I haven't tried dilators yet. As you know, vaginismus is still a not so well known condition. There are many things yet to discover, like its concrete cause and the treatment.
Now, after doing a lot of research I found a place that seems very helpful to solve the problem (I'm also looking for solutions). I haven't started a treatment yet, so I can't give you my personal experience, but I found many succesful stories there. It will give you hope. Good luck!!!!!
