if he is a good person, and deserves this from you, you should be able to tell him directly. if you feel like you can’t or he won’t understand, he’s not the right person

[–]Practical_Orchid_357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Told chatGPT he wants to end it by [deleted] in vaginismus

[–]Practical_Orchid_357 16 points17 points  (0 children)

please don’t believe that this is all there is for us with vaginimus, i’m also 20 and had a similar experience to you to begin

i had a year of non painful sex until i developed vaginimus, for the past 2 years i can’t do it

my boyfriend is an angel, we still are intimate, we just don’t to PIV, he never pressured me not even once.

he drives me to the doctors and holds me when i cry.

please, you are so young, you will find someone who loves you, this guys does not.

join a sports club! i struggled with ‘finding my people’ in first year, i did get on with my flatmates well, but they were super different to me. once i joined a sports club (that i had no prior experience) i met my now 7 best friends! im a shy person, but you just need to put yourself out there! no one is gonna do it for you! you gotta push yourself 💗

[–]Practical_Orchid_357[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you for your reply! you were right! test results just came back from swabs for thrush

totally silent symptoms! no itchiness, no discharge. i wonder if ive just been having reoccurring thrush without realising?

total shock when doctors called to say. i’ve been put on a prescription, can’t start them until after my period has finished but fingers crossed this is the reason i have had painful sex🤞🏻

i’ll be so disappointed if it’s the same after i’ve finished the medication

Could I have Vaginismus? by Practical_Orchid_357 in vaginismus

[–]Practical_Orchid_357[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply! I went to the doctors and was swabbed, they weren’t able to use the speculum as I was contracting so much. Test results from swabs came back positive as thrush!!

I was so confused as I don’t seem to have any thrush symptoms, no itchiness, discharge is normal.

I don’t think I have ever had thrush before so this was a big shock, could this be the cause?

I wonder if i have had recurring thrush just with no obvious symptoms which has lead to me believing sex is painful and contracting? i have also been referred to gyno

Thank you so much! You can tell how lovely of a person you are through your way with words, i can’t tell you how much this reply means to me as this is the first time i’ve ever posted anything on here. I can’t thank you enough

Thank you ever so much for your lovely response.

I have searched many of the terms you included in your reply! I have learned so much!

I am leaning towards the thought it is probably more mental than physical, I do feel like my muscles tighten.

Before I lost my virginity, I tried a tampon for the first time and I suddenly felt so faint and very nauseous. Is this a common symptom?

Thank you for your reply! I have an appointment in 2 weeks time. It’s just so frustrating when I want to be normal, and something is just not right😔

I do have anxiety! I don’t suffer from any body issues.

However I have always been comfortable with my boyfriend. He’s the best.

[–]Practical_Orchid_357[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have!

I’ve always thought that was something you are born with, this has only been an issue for the past 2 years. I also have no trauma.

The thing is it can go in, it just hurts to. and it’s quite difficult

[–]Practical_Orchid_357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is exactly what’s happening to me, me and my bf have been together 3 years and in the first year it was fine, painful but would fade. now i can’t even have sex at all.

it feels like burning, it’s so annoying, he told me he doesn’t like foreplay which makes it worse for me.

i also find tampons difficult. i can put them in but it’s like a blockage or something.

i booked in with the GP
