Physical therapy

Does physical therapy halo to decrease vulvar skin sensitivity?

It does but its not going to go away entirely. Its mostly for muscles I did it but I would say it didnt truly help until after my surgery. Its worth it to try tho!

Thanks Alana! Still not sure what I've got going on.... We'll see how it goes. Trying to stay emotionally positive at the moment. My skin is do sensitive. But I can see associated redness, etc. by end of day.....I have more aching/soreness.

Some of the ladies on here have completely recovered from skin sensitivity and inflammation (the redness you're seeing) with PT, if the cause is muscular then yes it has a good chance of working

Can anyone who has recovered or knows someone who has recovered from this vial curse tell me about how long it took for Physical Therapy to make it go away? I've been going now for 6 or 7 weeks, some better but still there. Thanks much.

I went for a year before surgery and than 6 months after surgery so year and a half? But mine wasnt just muscular my nerves were done so there was little to no hope for it. But after surgery it worked

what sx did you have vestibulectomy?

Yup

were you getting any results with PT? If so what was happening? Did your PT do internal massage? That is what I am having.

Yeah I got all that but my nerves were shot and misfiring. With a little muscular issues it wasn't terrible. If yours is muscles it should work well for you! But initially mine wasn't so the therapy ended up helping but it wasn't going to go away entirely until my nerves were gone...

from all my deductions and my gyn agreed enough to give me a PT referral and my PT says it sounds like it to her that my problem is most likely muscular stemming from a pelvic fx I sustained over 2 years ago. Sat on my right buttock for more than two years and tensing up constantly when I did because I dreaded pain from my left side. I also had a bought with IBS right before the symptoms started. Anyway, you didn't ask for my life history. Glad you got relief. Are you in the states or where?

I just saw that you are in Fla. Hi neighbor.

Hey neighbor! Haha no big deal I want tp help if I can! Try pt it might work for you! In scared that my v will come back (because now I have a healthy normal relationship I feel like itll rear its ugly head). I switched birth control and im just freaked out. But I have to be on it cuz of endometriosis what a disaster. But yeah if its muscular pt will fix you right up. But it does take time patience in this is a virtue. Let me know what happens!!

I will let you know. I surely hope your's doesn't come back. How could it if your nerves are gone? Can I ask you if you are able to feel down there when you are having sex? I mean of course in the vulva area, I know the sx didn't remove your vagina.
