Has anyone been to PT after the surgery?

I just had a vestibulectomy and am starting to think about what the long term recovery process will be like. I know dilators are recommended after the surgery, but I'm unsure if that will be enough to get me back to normal. Any thoughts or experience with this?

First you JUST had the surgery you cant do any of that for at least 6 weeks. After 6 weeks I was told to do both PT and dilators. But again this is something you have to discuss with your doctors because its two different things. PT and dilators help if you have vaginisums, this helps your muscles. The surgery you had has nothing to do with muscles BUT you may still have muscular problems. Discuss with your doc what you should do. It worked for me, but I was specifically told to go.

Thanks Alana!

Yes, I meant after the 6 week mark, or as long as it takes to get the ok from my doctor. Did you struggle with vaginismus before the surgery as well? When I went to PT last time it didn't really help since my issues were only minimally muscular. I'm predicting that the surgery will fuel up a lot of pain anticipation anxiety, and bring back some of my old muscular problems, so it's very likely that they will recommend that I try it. How long were you in PT for?

A few months, I got fed up with it and than was able to have sex so fuck it. Yeah, you'll probably be anxious, dilating helped me feel that there was nothing worth getting scared about. Hows your recovery going? Not that bad right??

It's going better then I expected. The first week was really rough but it totally turned around around day 8 and now I'm hardly in pain anymore. Not that mobile but i'm sure i'll get there.

Really? I heal quick though so maybe that's why but I also made myself do stuff when I could and I was done with recovery by 5 and a half weeks. But everyone is different and the important thing is you will feel soooo much better in a few weeks!
