I've been wondering if I might have vaginismus of some varying degree. I hate going to the gyno because it hurts a lot when he puts the speculum in and I can feel my body seizing up down there like it's trying to expel the intrusive device. It was very painful the last time I went there when he put the speculum in to take out my old IUD and put in a fresh new one (this was a separate pain from the pain of the procedure itself). Also, the last time I had sex, it hurt almost like the first time I had sex. I was sore for a couple of days afterword and there was a bit of bleeding.
It's strange because I've had sex where there's been no pain before this, and nothing big has happened that I know of that could trigger the onset of vaginismus that I know of.
I've looked up treatments and they include doing kegel exercises and stuff like that. I might try that, but I wanted to know if anyone had some thoughts, comments or could offer support on this matter?
