Pelvic tightness / discomfort

Hi, I've had some problems in this area for years, since I first tried to insert a tampon, with no luck. I've kinda denied it to myself, thought I was not normal, been ashamed / in denial of it. I'm now 37, and I want to do something about it! I've got the book 'Sex without pain' by Heather Jeffcoat, and I'm trying to do the exersises from it, and I've got the 'EZMagic' wand from Elgenia Health (which I've not used yet but intend to). I'd really like someone to talk to about this - does anyone have any suggestions? I live in York, thinking I might see if I can find a therapist.

Thanks!

Ann

Sounds a lot like vaginismus! I went to the doctors because I was having trouble with sex and they gave me some dilators to stretch the muscles out, which I've been using for about 2 years, and I'm not onto the therawand to try and relax the internal pressure points before they get too tight x I think it depends how bad it is as to who treats you but my regular gynaeo just gave me the dilators and we had 3 monthly appointments about them and things x
