Hili! I've been on my vulvadynia/vaginismus journey for a few years now but have only started actively receiving treatment for it in the last 7 months ish. Much like a lot of you guys it took a long time for a doctor to take me seriously especially since I am on the younger side (currently 21) but after going to PT (since last December) and an topical estrogen cream (started in February) l've been able to complete my dilator set with little to no pain.
Unfortunately though those skills just aren't transferring over to penetrative sex... and it's not necessarily that's it's hurting as much as it used to now it's just like i'm not feeling anything at all. Like past entry (usually there's a lil pain at first ranging from a 1/2) there's no sensation at all. Even when I'm using my dilators in the absence of pain there's no sensation. I can feel pleasure from external stimulation but internally it truly feels like nothing. Honestly i'm at my wits end with this condition and was wondering if any of you guys have experienced anything similar and if there's anyway to remedy this. Also if any for you guys have any doctor/meds recommendations. l reside in atl and am in the search of a doctor that has more experience with this condition.
Although my current gyno is nice she is very hesitant to give me alternative forms of treatment due to my age.
