Dear Zephyro Recently, I went out with some of my friends, I found condition was not bad when talking to them. Well done! I’m sure you can build on this positive experience. One doctor told me that too much orgasm could probably cause pelvic pain or vulva pain. What do you think about that? I can’t ...

Dear Zephyro I’m guessing that you have been avoiding your friends and social occasions, perhaps because your pain restricts what you can do – sit, stand, travel etc. Also, the condition itself is embarrassing to explain to others and the associated feelings of guilt will have seriously affected you...

Dear Zephyro if I follow the mind body connection, in the future could I have sex without pain? Everyday every minute I think I shouldn't have masturbated, again and again, never stop.... The first of these statements is concerned with the future and the second with the past. You cannot do anything ...

Dear Zephyro "Could it be physical and psychological?" You could say it already is. You have the physical pain and the mental suffering. The important question is, which came first: (significant) physical trauma leading to chronic pain and then mental anguish (body affecting the mind), or ...

Dear Rosemary You said: " Two and a half years after seeing the top local gynaecologist i saw an NHS pain consultant locally who wrote in a letter back quote "I felt that it was very, very unlikely that her pain was created by her causing irritation in the area" so maybe i should beli...

Rosemary OK, head on the block here: when you say you rubbed your vulva, is it because you can’t bring yourself to use the ‘m’ word in terms of yourself? I see that you were able to use it at the end of your post when talking about men. Unfortunately, many of us more mature folk were brought up in a...

Dear Zephyro, You didn’t mention whether there had been a particular physical incident which set this all off? From your posts, it does seem like you are struggling with guilty emotions which are very destructive. Only you will know how big a part these play in your overall problem. There is a huge ...

This probably should be posted elsewhere on the forum, but following on from Ezer's comment regarding ‘puny’ incidents: Every day our bodies suffer minor tissue damage of one kind or another, which our bodies then repair and regenerate perfectly adequately. In the case of infection, we receive antib...

Dear Lindsey, Thank you for sharing this, which is clearly from your heart. I know from other areas of the forum you are suffering dreadfully at the moment with your physical symptoms. Knowing where your eternal home will be is one thing, but at the moment you are struggling here on earth and perhap...

Keep going Sarajoy! Looks like you have started to break the cycle. Continue to feed your optimism now, instead of your fear. Although the triggers were different, there are many similarities between our stories. Absolutely agree with Rosemary re. Ezer's references too. Good luck on your road to rec...
