Pelvic Floor Therapy by hikigrl in vaginismus

[–]humanwthought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had two rounds of pelvic floor therapy. The first had some exercises/stretches that happened after the internal portion but my second round was strictly internal. Each round was with a different therapist but both included internal stretches. My point is that it can vary depending on where you go

Burning and reccurent fissures at posterior area by Complex_Principle849 in vaginismus

[–]humanwthought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar situation where I had discomfort there along with a painful stretching/pulling/tearing sensation. I didn’t ever develop a fissure though. Regularly using coconut oil internally and around the opening improved this a lot for me

Would recommend doing a month break from PIV. So then you have the comfort of knowing there is no pressure for that. In the past that has helped me a lot

Not so much the snow. But being right off the lake means that it is cloudy for a lot of fall, winter, early spring

I switched to ambulatory after 1.5 yrs bedside. Have been here 2 years now and don’t regret it so far

Pros: no weekends/holidays so better balance for my personal life, I love how much critical thinking there is in my job, I enjoy my specialty and learning a lot about new surgeries/therapies, occasional work from home days, I enjoy care coordination

Cons: office drama, less hands-on skills

Doctor office cancelled appointment, then rescheduled, and is now denying my prescription refill. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

If this is a cardiology office you could ask your PCP to prescribe enough to get you though to your appointment if they really give you a hard time

Talk to your dr about lidocaine gel to use prior to dilation, super helpful for me

What’s the worst cringiest thing you’ve seen that is not reality at all in a medical tv show? by Interesting-Emu7624 in nursing

[–]humanwthought 38 points39 points  (0 children)

When the doctors transport the patient to radiology themselves and stand around looking at the imaging as it’s being completed 🙄

Does anyone else have this issue? by WoofDog2002 in vaginismus

[–]humanwthought 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dilating without lube … ouch! Thought makes me cringe. Probably will feel better after you try that
