We all know what erectile dysfunction is but literally no one is ever taught what vaginismus is and it can cause people to feel extremely lost, broken, and cause people to take their own lives. Raise. Awareness.

For the uninformed, vaginismus is when the vagina painfully tightens and spasms when faced with pressure, usually from anything trying to insert into the vagina. It’s the reason I can’t wear tampons, and why many people can’t have vaginal sex without severe pain.

There’s not a lot of treatments, and there isn’t a single one that is for vaginismus exclusively - they’re all medications or treatments to treat symptoms, but not the causes. In fact, for a long time doctors waved off vaginismus as a purely psychological disorder in cis women.

Seriously, this is so unaddressed and uncared for in medical circles. Please spread awareness, even if all it’s for is to let those who have it but don’t have a name for it finally be able to understand what’s happening to their bodies.

Certified Sex Ed Post!

Hi hello! This post is almost 10 years old and there ARE treatments for this. Vaginismus is otherwise known as pelvic hypertonia and it is a MUSCULAR condition that can be caused by many different factors including endometriosis, trauma, chronic UTIs, and connective tissue disorders.

It’s incredibly common! And it can be treated by physiotherapy.

I know this because I’m currently undergoing physio and although it can take months to recover, I’m already seeing improvement. A lot of the pelvic floor exercises are available online, but if you have these symptoms please TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR and see if you can get a physio referral (or investigation for underlying causes like endometriosis).

Also, my additions to posts never get reblogged so a note to my followers: this is SUPER IMPORTANT ISSUE that affects many people and is rarely talked about. Please reblog, and please share this info with as many people as possible.

Pelvic hypertonia/vaginismus is incredibly debilitating and psychologically damaging but it CAN BE TREATED. Spread the word, and you never know who you’ll be throwing a lifeline to.

My chronic pain community, please hear this.

Including, but not limited to! If you have experienced chronic muscle pain, nerve pain, hip injury, spinal cord injury (or lesions), difficult pelvic exams, hormonal changes- consider if this is something your doctors might be overlooking.

Pelvic pain is really common, and there are surprising symptoms associated with it. I cannot overstate the importance of non-physician providers in your care team, especially when it comes to treating pain. Reach out to physical therapy, get an evaluation, and discuss a schedule.

ok y'all i have a question

what do you guys think christina enjoys doing

like orel has his stopmotion

but what about her

what would her thing be??/genq

I think she'd enjoy something like dollhouses or dioramas tbh. I think her parents wouldn't look too closely at her doing something "girly" like playing with dolls/plushies. They wave it off like she's just playing pretend (when she's actually processing her emotions of the day like Orel does).

Then that evolves into an interest in puppets. Her equivalent of "Orel's Movie Premiere" is one big elaborate puppet show that she tries to get all her friends to participate in.
