I might have vaginismus? Scared.

My new ob-gyn said that I would need to go to a physical therapist to get help for my vaginismus. I came home, my mom said that she won't pay for it and she yelled at me and told me to get a job. I applied for disability because I can't work. Then I told my mom that I'll just leave the vaginismus problem alone. I feel like such a loser ;(I'll never get this problem solved. I wonder why I was even born in the first place.

I am so sorry things are working against you right now. Your parents don't seem very supportive. I hope you can get the help you need some other way.

The first thing the psychiatrist will need to know is "Have you ever been sexually active?" If the answer is "No," then it is unlikely (not impossible) that you could have any infection, other than a yeast infection. Remedies for that can be bought over the counter. Talking to your psychiatrist might be a good idea, as a way of preparing you to face the challenge of talking to another doctor.

Without a physical examination, I doubt that a psychiatrist is going to confirm, or dispute, that you have vaginismus. The best that the psychiatrist can do is to refer you to a someone competent to rule out other problems. I would urge you to consider seeing a female OB-GYN. You could make the first appointment a simple "sit-down and talk" visit.

It's possible that you may have urethritis. That can be due to an infection, or just irritation from a number of factors. Also, it is possible that you may have something unusual about your anatomy that is causing a problem. The solution may not necessarily be anything terrifying. That's why I urge you to see a female doctor and sit and talk, first.

I hope you can overcome your fear and get the help you really need.

Hi! I actually did see an ob-gyn, and she also diagnosed me with vaginismus.

Thank you so much for the update. Were they able to do anything to help you.I hope the exam was not nearly as terrrible as you anticipated.

Glad you got to go and now hopefully you can begin recovering.

They only took a look outside. They didn't put anything inside of me. So, that wasn't too bad.

good I am so glad that you got this issue resolved and that they didn't do anything to you to make you feel further hurt or ashamed or stressed. So you had a good enough experience and if you ever have to go back again it will be less scary hopefully.

So what did the doc prescribe you to over come this? N what is the situation now a days?

i am asking this coz i think i ve this kinda pain too.
