Vaginal atrophy and painful intercourse: What helps?

Did you see a physical therapist for the training? I’m not sure if I need the therapy, but would like an evaluation. Maybe, I’ll try the intercourse to see how it goes.
So glad you had good results with that therapy! My mom has had 2 surgeries for prolapse years ago. I have done kegel exercises before. I became concerned that I might be hypotonic, since I’m such an anxious person and discontinued them. Perhaps, I’ll resume them.

I asked my primary care person if she would write an order for pelvic floor training. I probably went to 4 sessions and she printed out the pages of exercises with instructions and told me to continue them at home. I am scheduled to see my Gynecologist on Tuesday and I am hoping to have a discussion about why he didn’t recommend PFT. The therapist I saw said he probably wasn’t even aware of it. I am so thankful I didn’t have surgery to correct because there can be pretty bad side effects. Good luck!

Yes, I saw a physical therapist who trained me in the exercises I needed and how to do them. I noticed a difference within 3 weeks. (No undressing). She gave me printouts of the exercises. I leave them in plain sight as a reminder to do the exercises.
