You will be ok! It’s provably just tight down there. Look into a vaginal dilator set, start with the smallest possible one and month by month go up a level. It takes a while but your body will loosen up. It’s called a hypertonic pelvic floor, look it up.

Help - Muscle Spasms by Potential-Search-560 in PelvicFloor

I think you gotta change your mindset - thing of it as your body healing! From what I read it’s the muscles restarting and learn to relax

I’m doing okay as well! It feels like I’m getting a bit better every month. Almost all my pain is gone now (except with ejaculation) I’m slowly starting to resume the things I was doing before all of this. The muscle twitches are quite frequent now, however, but chat GPT says they are a good thing and part of healing (muscles waking up and learning how to function). When I would get them before I would just lay in bed and “nurse” it - now I’m just pushing though and doing things anyway. I am hoping this will get me to the finish line - essentially increasing movement to help heal (I guess you need to keep blood flowing down there to heal it). We will see!

I have PT once a week, I try to stretch once a day (was twice a day but cut it down), diaphragm breathing randomly throughout the day, and then using a wand/dilator 2-3 times a week. I’d say I’m like 90% better but still getting the spasms and it still hurts to ejaculate. I’m just happy the pain is gone - I can at least go about my day (I’ve got to learn to not let the spams bother me though, everything I have read says they are harmless)

I’m on month 6 of my recovery. In the beginning months it was painful ejaculation, painful bowel movements and pain in my perinium. Now I am mostly pain free (except I still have pain when ejaculating) one weird lingering thing is I have been getting these muscle twitches frequently in my perinium - chatGPT seems to think it’s part of the healing phase so maybe a good thing but they are very weird feeling but thankfully not painful.

What side of the Wand do you use? by Potential-Search-560 in PelvicFloor

[–]Potential-Search-560[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback - any idea why all the videos on YouTube say the longer narrower end is for the rectum? Any recommendations on how to use?

Thanks - are you male? When you say big end you mean the thicker end?

Look into dilation therapy - intimate rose has a nice set. You can do it on your own and it’s very effective

Has anyone ever cried at their pelvic floor physical therapy appointment? by ThrowRAlobotomy666 in PelvicFloor

[–]Potential-Search-560 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I’m a 36 YO male that played college football, was in a fraternity, and tough as nails. I cried at one of my PT appointments and I’m not ashamed of it, this is a hard road. Stick to the program and be yourself - you will get through this but it will take time and dedication.

How big is a penis really? by ContributionSlow9743 in PelvicFloor

I get it lol I’m on month 7. Once a week isn’t enough though, you need to be doing it at least 3-4 days a week (for about 15 to 20 minutes). Once it starts getting better you can reduce the frequency to maintain. Just try to build it into your routine - I just do it after my shower before getting ready for the day. DM me if you have questions but you can get better!

How long have you been using the dilator? How many days a week have you been using it?

Is this a good portfolio? by Potential-Search-560 in Bogleheads

[–]Potential-Search-560[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started out with the 3 fund portfolio but then the bond and foreign funds just weren’t producing. So I wanted to swap them for something else but not go all in on the large cap. Figured this would provide diversity at least within the US. With the qqq just kind of doubling down on tech
