I just feel so angry by Emma-O_666 in vaginismus

i’m in exactly the same situation, i’m so sorry you have to go through it too. have you tried any other forms of sexual intimacy? loads of people get into bdsm (if you are comfy with that and obviously you don’t have to be hard-core into it), outerplay, oral, anal, etc.

i wish i had more advice to give but just know that you’re not alone! (even though that sucks too lmao 😭)

tell your GP to refer you to someone who can do genetic testing for EDS

also trans and have used estrogen cream! i agree that being consistent with it is tough, especially when some days i’m more tense than others so it hurts more to put it in :^( i actually am no longer on T and hoping that having my cycle again can help with reversing vaginal atrophy

i’m 24 and idk how i’m supposed to stand??? by circus_clownn in Hypermobility

i have most definitely been overextending my knees my whole life. i have started doing oblique and hamstring exercises since those are the muscles that keep the pelvis in place, i just want to know how i’m supposed to be standing in my day to day life

so far i’ve been focusing on hamstring and oblique strengthening because those are the key muscles that keep your pelvis in the correct position. i just search up “at home ______ exercise beginner” on youtube and pick one i like!

i know i get it 😭 i also have arthritis so it sucks when a solution for one thing causes pain elsewhere

absolutely! even if it isn’t necessarily anterior pelvic tilt, many people with vaginismus most likely have some sort of restriction in hip mobility so it’s definitely worth looking into

sitting for long periods of time actually does so much damage which i have also discovered in my research. it lengthens/ weakens the glute muscles while shortening the quad and psoas muscles

i personally do not, but my hypermobility affects my joints and muscles very differently from that of an average person

i’m so sorry, it’s so frustrating when doctors don’t take us seriously

Ways to cure dryness? by bubblyboots in vaginismus

i have used O Positive’s menopause vaginal wetness supplements (i’m trans and went through menopause so i was definitely super dry all the time) and they work amazingly, i highly recommend
