I need to get a handle on this

Hi everyone.

I've been lurking here for quite some time and finally plucked up the courage to make a post.

I am 99.9% certain I have vaginismus but do not have a diagnosis.

I have been unable to have sex for over 10 years now.

I could when I was younger and then it became more and more painful until it became impossible without causing awful pain and being a real struggle to even have anything enter me.

I saw doctors a few times but they made me feel stupid and as if I was imagining things and it made me feel even worse and that I couldn't continue trying to get help.

My question to everyone here is, do you think a diagnosis is essential to try and start attempting to get through this and to help make things better? Or do you think I can go straight to dilators and kegel exercises? I have been looking at dilators online but there seems to be such a variation of bundles of sizes (so I've no idea what I'd even need) and such a difference in prices too...does price make a difference?

Any advise on helping me to start navigating this battle would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone for listening and for your time 😊
