The Most Common Myths About

Painful Sex

You've Been Told By Doctors, Friends and Social Media That Keep You In Pain and Taking Pills

If you’ve suffered with painful sex or vaginismus, you’ve probably heard a wide range of stories and opinions from friends and family, and even outdated advice from doctors to rest and rely on painkillers which has left you confused, frustrated, and unable to get long-term relief.

Here are some of the most common sex-related pain myths people who visit our Seattle clinic have been told which has actually made their pain much worse, and delayed their recovery.

MYTH #1 - IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE PAIN DURING SEX

Women are often told that it's normal to have some pain during sex as it means you're a good woman and your vagina is tight, and there are many taboos around the tightness of the vagina. We often hear "the tighter the better" and this is the problem as it's not accurate information. When someone is in pain during sex, it just tells us scientifically that their body is denying joy at the minute and it's our job to get curious and find out why. Pain is a symptom and not a diagnosis because it's like the tip of the iceberg. A lot of the time we ignore it just like Titanic ignored it and we all know what happened. Painful sex can have many underlying causes. Pelvic muscles are like muscular underwear inside the body, sort of like your underwear would be. For a woman, this muscle underwear would have 3 holes, a pee hole, an anus, and a vagina hole and tight muscles limit your ability to open those holes.

MYTH #2 - PHYSICAL THERAPY WON'T WORK FOR
PELVIC HEALTHCARE

Physical therapists are experts who are better at solving muscle problems like painful sex, constipation, and pelvic pain problems than you. As physical therapists, we are trained to do our job, so you can trust us and know that we can help you. Painful sex often involves pelvic muscles as one of the components and there is no one better than a pelvic floor physical therapist to solve it. Maybe you've tried pelvic floor physical therapy before and were let down by another practitioner, but you can look at my success stories and years of experience to find out that I am truly capable of helping women recover from pain and return to being sexually active. Get in touch with us today and book a free discovery visit or a telephone consultation to find out whether we can help you. It won't cost you anything and you've got nothing to lose.

MYTH #3 - IT'S JUST THIS ONE PROBLEM

People often think that their pelvic problem is just that and there are no other issues with their health, but what they forget is that hole health is your whole health. When we experience other struggles like fertility problems, yeast infection, constipation, and other problems, these are all problems difficult to talk about because they're private. The intimate nature of these problems makes us hide those problems, but the more I know about you the better I can help you. Pelvic muscles are all connected, so maybe you're having painful sex due to constipation or other pelvic problems I need to be aware of in order to help you as best as I can. Sex problems aren't just sex problems, sometimes they are other health problems showing up as sex problem.
