Thread: Tampons and Gyno...

I fully understand what your going through. I was a virgin up until I got married at 27 years old and was never able to actually insert a tampon. It just didn't fit and was extremely painful trying. My gyno appointments were the same way and I usually left in tears feeling like a wimp or failure, that something was very wrong with me. After some serious research and a ton of prayer, I was able to figure out what was going on with my body. There is a condition that many girls have called Vaginismus. When I found the website and read all the testimonies of girls that were going through the same thing I had, even into marriage, I wept with joy that I had finally found an answer. I then went after finding a gyno doctor that knew of this condition and I found a fabulous one. Try to find a doctor who has knowledge of this condition, it took me having to go through 3 other doctors before I found her.

To give you a brief explanation of what's going on down there...your muscles will go into a spasm that you have no control over closing off any entrance down there at all. Even if you don't feel the spasm, but you do seem super tight, that's exactly what it is. - you will be so surprised how many young women have struggled with this and very relieved to see that they do offer an at-home treatment program. It really does help. Trying different types of tampons doesn't work, believe me I tried and it only frustrated me more.

Sorry for the long comment - but you shouldn't ignore this if its what you have - and try to be proactive about it before you get married. My sister just happens to also have the same condition and she is also 20 years old and a virgin. Good luck!!
