Hello everyone,,
In a prior thread, Sofi has written:
“I wasted about 6 years with doctors who had never heard of vaginismus. I was told that it was all in my head, recommended therapy, even had doctors suggest that I try having a drink or two before sex to relax. Thinking back on it, these doctor visits not only prevented me from the proper treatment, but reinforced my vaginismus through painful examinations. Those doctors made me feel like I was truly crazy!”
And, in a very recent post, another forum member wrote concerning how the doctor who treated her made her feel like her condition of vaginismus was all in her head.
In an excellent reply post, Dr. BatSheva wrote:
“[i]t’s not clear to me where you did the botox treatment, but the practitioners should be working with you and NOT telling you i’ts all in your head. You should be in regular contact with them…”
It’s so, so comforting to me to know that there are doctors out there like Dr. Pacik and Dr. BatSheva that understand vaginismus and realize that it’s not just in your head and has a real physical component that needs to be addressed and treated as well.
What have been your own experiences here?
