Hi, I’m new to the forum. I’ve been in therapy for about a year to manage several things, vaginismus among them. On my journey with it, I learned that the root of mine was caused by having an irregular hymen. Mine made a thick band that crossed my vaginal opening, and the second time I tried to insert a tampon (first time straight up failed), I ripped it apart. I didn’t know the damage that was done at the time, I just thought tampons were horrible and everybody was crazy for using them.
Since I learned about vaginismus, I’ve assumed my other problems were a part of it. I am unable to feel sexual stimulation in my nipples, and I feel pain if I try to stimulate my clitoris. I’ve finally started reading about it, and I learned that the damage I did to my hymen may be connected to my clitoral pain. Does anybody else suffer from clitoral pain when it’s touched? Has anybody found that insensitive nipples have a connection to their vaginismus? Has anybody overcome these problems?
