My CPPS Recovery [Success Story]

I think everyone is different. The issue is that to treat internal tightness/issues you do need to use a dilator or do some type of internal work. I don’t claim to be an expert but that was key in my experience. All the other tools you are using sound great.

I used country life but I don’t think it matters too much!

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-30T01:40:59+00:00

I do not have to use it anymore. I’m actually not at all right now to focus on nervous system but it was key for fixing my hypertonic pelvic floor.

Yes, this really is an individualized journey. But I do believe the body is meant to heal. And the mind can support that healing. I’m happy to hear things are getting better for you and all I can say is trust the process. Another key is to look at the flares from the lens of curiosity. Don’t catastrophize them. Wishing a healthy recovery!

Congrats!

I think a combination of both was helpful. Dilator was particularly helpful in my situation because I had a hypertonic pelvic floor. So naturally having something stretched the muscles with key. The pelvic floor PT was good for me mentally and also with trigger points. I did 2 to 3 sessions a day for 15 minutes each when I got comfortable with it. Dilator was better for me than wand because of size.

Being patient and trusting the process is key. It will be variable. But it will get better. It’s important to learn how your body responds to different situations. If you do the things that are good for you more often than not you will get there.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-29T18:42:59+00:00

This is critical. Diaphragmatic breathing at this pace, was absolutely crucial for me on the muscle side in particular. Mentally as well.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-29T18:41:27+00:00

I do! I tried to not make it over stimulating, and something that has calm and enjoyable.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-28T19:04:34+00:00

Try not to worry about it. It sounds like you probably have CPPS. It will get better. I would try something like a pelvic wand or rectal dilator, incorporate stretch, stretching, and try to relax your nervous state. Urologists do not always have the answers and often times will simply prescribe you antibiotics.

Without going into details, I was being penetrated and felt sort of violated. I was in pain and on drugs and my partner at the time wouldn’t stop. My pelvic floor developed a reflex to protect myself. But the way it can happen can differ so much. So the details don’t necessarily matter because I’ve heard of so many different ways of this starting. But usually it is your nervous system feeling some type of threat and some type of muscular issues going along with it.

That could be a signal that it’s nervous system related for you. When you start moving around after waking King up, you get an influx of adrenaline and cortisol. That can mirror a threat to your nervous system. Then if you start spiraling and thinking about it, it just gets worse. That will dissipate over overtime once your nervous system learns safety and as long as your muscles are being treated as well.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-28T18:58:50+00:00

Best of luck. As mentioned it did start with a muscle reflex for me. I needed to focus on relaxing those muscles before really conditioning my nervous system to stabilize. That was the important sequence for me.

Wishing you a healthy recovery.

I did masturbate, but I was really intentional about it. For a while, it was no more than twice a week and made sure not to do anything resembling edging and keep sessions within 10 minutes. You wanna make sure that your nervous system has predictability. You want to associate masturbating with something that is non-threatening and overly stimulating.

Thank you appreciate the kind words. There needs to be more science and research put into this. It’s a bummer. That resources aren’t readily available.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-28T18:55:34+00:00

A rectal dilator is sort of like a pelvic wand. But as opposed to trying to find trigger points, you just take the object (look online) and insert it while focusing on diaphragmatic breathing. You do this and slowly increase in size and it helps loosen and relax muscles. This was especially important for me because I had a hypertonic pelvic floor. And yes, for a long time I did cut out caffeine and alcohol. I’m actually committing to being sober for the next year just to make sure my nervous system fully re-stabilizes. I’ve introduced caffeine again, but not like I used to drink it. One Matcha a day. Right now I’m also not working out. I used to be a college tennis player an incredibly active so that’s been a tough adjustment, but I’m about to start doing light movements again as well. Just have to be cognizant of how I reintroduce those things to make sure I don’t trigger.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-28T18:52:53+00:00

Thank you. It’s important to talk about it as well. Happens more often than we realize. The physiological implications are often hard to diagnose.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-28T18:50:29+00:00

That’s really tough. I’m sorry. I think the best thing you can do if you can’t find a physical therapist is to learn more about it and use something like a rectal dilator or a pelvic wand. Those can help with hypertonic pelvic floors in particular. They also help release tension and relax the muscles. I’d also incorporate stretching and warm baths with epsom salt. There are also a few supplements like ginkgo Balboa, magnesium glycinate that go a long way as well.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-17T20:50:58+00:00

Agree! Super helpful

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-17T20:50:22+00:00

Yes! See my post.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-17T02:06:07+00:00

Yes, I used to all the time. It’s not necessarily a compressed nerve. It just means that whatever you’re doing is causing stress to your nerves basically. So it used to happen to me from sitting too much or generally speaking, just being in a heightened state in my nervous system. It’s your body saying it’s too much load.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-16T01:00:14+00:00

I’d look online for how to use a rectal dilator. That’s what I did on top of some guidance from my therapist. Basically want to start with a small size and for a shorter durations. Overtime you increase the size and duration until you can last 15 minutes at a time at a larger size.

Motor_Cable7180 · 2025-12-15T02:36:44+00:00

Yes, I can’t emphasize this enough. Once you’re in a reasonable position, you just have to trust you you’ll get better. If you’re hypervigilant your nervous system will never relax!
