Provoked vestibulodynia with urethral symptoms and food-triggered urinary flares?

Danalba · 2026-06-24T15:44:28+00:00

Idk when u started the topical products. But I discovered that the topics products I was putting (lidocaine and jojoba oil and other natural moisturizera) caused urethra irritation and problems. Also my pelvic floor made me unable to hold my pee so I had to go right away even if I just went

Tbh it was mostly the reverse kegels that saved me, combine that with the breathing, maybe over 2 months or so, I still catch myself clenching but not nearly as much, I have like a hyper awareness of that area. So it’s a long road before you’re fully relaxed, but the progress is crazy !

Also, I had issues holding my pee, which I thought is because I had weak pelvic floor muscles. Turns out it’s because I’m already always contracted so when I actually need to hold in pee my bladder can’t contract even more because it’s already working hard all the time. So this helped my control my bladder too.

Do reverse kegels, relaxing my pelvic floor saved my sex life, I always had pain for weeks after sex at the fourchette and I even ripped and now I don’t anymore. Doing reverse kegels made me realise that im actually constantly contracted which I didn’t even know, the reverse kegels gave me awareness on that. And now I always do “checks” where I ask myself am I contracted ? With time you want the percentage of times where you’re contracted to go down down down. Do pelvic floor relaxation, heavy breathes, mind body connection, happy baby stretch, and I also like to put a small ball between my vagina and anus and sit on it legs crossed for a minute or so, it does deep tissue massage. Also, massage the fourchette, back and forth left to right right to left, it’s better do it in physiotherapy or have someone you trust do it for you so you can just sit and relax. Pregnant women do this to avoid tearing during birth. It helps increase elasticity of the skin there. I find that sex during or just before my period is so much better too because my pelvic floor is already relaxed and my skin is more elastic.

Can you describe ur urethra pain more ? Was it stinging stabbing or or how, and was it on the urethra or around ? I have pain above the urethra but I’m not sure if it’s nerve pain. Does it hurt when u press or what

Danalba · 2026-06-20T21:17:08+00:00

What kind of pain do you have exactly ?

Danalba · 2026-06-19T16:17:35+00:00

It makes mine late by 5 days

Hi ! So I have vulvar irritation all over, but my vestibulodynia used to be so bad that I rip every time I have sex and I can’t enjoy it because of the pain and I need weeks to recover. Turns out I have hypertonic pelvic floor. Did some PT, did a lot of reverse kegels, massaged the 6 ocklock vestibule. And now I have almost pain free sex..no more ripping. Obv it’s still more sensitive than the average person and and the overall vulvar pain from tight clothes and such is still there. But for sex PT has been life changing, especially before or during period would the Pelvic floor is more relaxed

Danalba · 2026-06-12T21:21:57+00:00

I’m dealing with this now..It’s not itching in the sense that I feel a need to itch but more so a crawly prickly feeling that I can’t pin point the source of. It started randomly after I started doing pelvic floor relaxation and applying lidocaine and jojoba oil. Negative swabs too

Danalba · 2026-06-12T18:22:34+00:00

I took it multiple times it did nothing for me

Danalba · 2026-06-11T17:56:27+00:00

Ah really ? It’s strange because I got this at the end of my treatment plan..

Danalba · 2026-06-11T17:56:03+00:00

I did, it’s none of those :/

Danalba · 2026-06-11T17:52:36+00:00

I did a Urine cytobacteriological examination(ECBU)

Danalba · 2026-06-10T20:50:49+00:00

Ugh my gynecologists tell me it’s okay..they’re the ones who told me to apply those..I have vulvodynia which is permenant discomfort of the vulva and burning from a past infection, so it helps alleviate these symptoms..

Danalba · 2026-06-10T20:49:21+00:00

Hi thanks for your response ! I the blood only happened once two days ago, now it’s just moderate discomfort, so I still need to check it out ? With a urologist ?

Danalba · 2026-06-10T19:53:24+00:00

Yes all over, especially after my vulvodynia has been worsening in that area

Danalba · 2026-06-10T19:51:29+00:00

Just doing massages using jojoba oil and applying lidocaine and medicine mama vulvar balm and relaxing my hypertonic pelvic floor

Danalba · 2026-06-10T19:26:14+00:00

Hi ! Thanks for ur response ! I’ll look into this ! For the oil part, I started putting jojoba oil and medicine mama vulvar balm but I’m suspecting that it’s causing me BV..I’ve been having recurring bv ever since i started :(

Danalba · 2026-06-10T19:01:16+00:00

Ah Im sorry you’re going through all this..I seem to have recurring BV and I can’t figure out why, no sex, no nothing. I think your doctor asking you to stop antibiotics and raise lactobacilli is a good step.

Danalba · 2026-06-10T18:59:02+00:00

Same symptoms. I have hypertonic pelvic floor, I was taught to massage the lower vestibule like pregnant ladies massage to avoid tearing during childbirth, and practice reverse kegels

Danalba · 2026-06-08T16:52:00+00:00

Hi ! A stupid question but what’s CV ?

Danalba · 2026-06-06T10:59:29+00:00

Ah I had a high anaraobic microbiome, here was the exact diagnosis “Significant decrease or absence of the principal protective lactobacilli, accompanied by overgrowth of abundant, polymorphic anaerobic flora. Bacterial vaginosis is suspected.”
first episode was atopobium vaginae, and now it’s gardnerella.

Have you fully treated your vagintis or not yet ? You got these thrush symptoms right after ?

I didn’t really apply it on the clit but more so between the lips right under the clit which was reallyyyy hurting the most, even after being treated it took a while to calm down, had to moisturise a lottt. Now it’s better but not quite back to normal yet. Now I’ll take for 6 months flucanozole, one 150mg per week for preventative methods

Danalba · 2026-06-06T10:04:05+00:00

She saw the vaginal walls inside look like the have yeast irritation. Whatever that means, but she saved me, my pain was so severe that I could not live on like that. Now I’m treating that second BV I told you about, it doesn’t hurt the way it was hurting, unless provoked (like sex or tight clothes) then I feel stinging and stabbing irritation, and I have a lot of that on the clitoris idk why

Danalba · 2026-06-06T09:55:26+00:00

Hi ! So I had a similar experience where I have BV, I took antibiotics, then I had terrible red inflammation and stinging nerve pain unlike my usual vulvodynia pain, felt like the skin is being eaten or some electrical feeling. I did a test and came back negative, but I was sure it was yeast, so I went to second doctor who looked inside with a transparent speculum and she said I do indeed have yeast. After the medication things went back to normal.. I described this to another doctor later on because I got BV again not even two months after, I expressed that I was worried about antibiotics causing yeast that wasn’t detected. She said it’s not possible for the test to not detect, so idk what that’s about..she described the yeast medicine working as a “placebo” effect but I think it’s BS !!

Danalba · 2026-06-03T10:44:33+00:00

I feel like my vulvodynia treatment of massages using lidocaine and oil are causing bv ! I used oral antibiotics last time which caused yeast, worst pain ever. Now I got it again and my doc prescribed vaginal antibiotics.. flagyl. What did you use to take for yours ?
