Vaginismus Support Groups

Ladies that suffer with vaginismus often feel alone, devastated and outright embarrassed.  Often too embarrassed to talk to friends or family about it.  There are many vaginismus support groups out there,  both online and off line.

On my journey with vaginismus, I felt I had little support about dealing with this condition, both physically and emotionally.

The 15 – 30 minute appointments with various doctors and pelvic floor specialists were helpful for  the basics of things for me, but were often too clinically minded, with not really enough appointment time.

There was also a wait of a few months from when I was referred to a pelvic floor specialist, to when I actually got to see one.

So, this is when I turned to the good old internet and got searching, to get a good understanding of vaginismus.

I found various forums and support groups with oodles of ladies speaking out about their experiences with vaginismus, and what has/hasn’t worked for them, what has helped them, how many doctors/specialists they have seen, and the list goes on and on.

Going by much that I have read, it also became apparent to me that there are some doctors out there that are set in their ways about what type of treatment, or exercises are best for vaginismus,  with a mindset that what works for one person will work for every one else.

Well, just like anything else, what works for one person doesn’t always work for another person. That’s how things in life are.
