Im a guy so "I know nothing about girl's anatomy" but if you are looking for solutions, try pelvic floor exercises. From my understanding, vaginismus is involuntary pelvic floor contractions. This may sound weird to say, but there are plenty of muscles that we negelct that are extremely important in everyday life. For example, things that we see as "second nature" are not often talked about because people ASSUME everyone knows how to do it properly. As it turns out, there are correct ways to stand, walk, run, breathe, pee, etc. My point is that people often forget that their pelvic floor muscles have voluntary control outside of going to the bathroom. Doing repeated exercises on the same muscle helps build a "mind to muscle" connection. Don't believe me? Next time you have 15-30 minutes, try flexing your biceps or pecs in the mirror. When you first start, you will realize that your muscles seem to contract with very little control. Doing that over and over while palpating the muscles can get you to a point where you can flex an individual muscle at any point. It gets even crazier though. Most muscles are made up of groups of muscles. I have gotten to the point where I can contract individual "sections" of my muscles. Before doing any of this, I could barely flex my bicep enough to make it hard. Though training you start to realize that you can have control over any muscle in your body. But without consciously thinking about it, you might just ASSUME the pelvic floor does it's own thing. But we have perfect control over our pelvic floor once you realize its there and start to train it. Hope this helps!
I would love to see a video addressing vaginismus. Leanna’s videos are so calming and have helped me get more comfortable attending multiple OBGYN appointments for my endometriosis. There is so much shame and stigma around topics like vaginismus, and a video could really help someone know that they are not alone! ❤
Hello my dear, my niece and I follow you. Your videos are the best in this field. Your voice is beautiful and makes me fall into a wonderful and deep sleep. Thank you.❤
Ur channel is awesome I love the education and the realistic scenarios! Maybe u could do a vid being like “my childhood friend is my gynecologist and how that would go. Like a good friend is ur doctor and does the full exam at either home or the offfice?
I have one. It popped up and grew fast. Had a biopsy and this was my diagnosis. I did not get it removed because of the size of it would make my breasts wonky.
Your videos are the most educative and the best out there for female health. Keep up your fantastic work you are doing with these videos. P.S Hope it is ok with me asking, but are you considering doing a labor and delivery video for your pregnancy playlist?
