More specifically: pelvic floor dysfunction, hypertonic pelvic floor, PF spasms, vulvodynia, vestibulodynia
It's very hard to find women with this condition. How do you treat yours if you have it? What methods of pain control do you use?
See if you can get a referral to a Gyn specialist. Then ask that person for a Q tip test. It pinpoints areas of pelvic pain. Interstitial cystitis is misdiagnosed frequently, when it's actually caused… read more
