Health Organization for Pudendal Education

I'm still a bit concerned with my pelvic floor, I keep getting bad bladder spasms that make me feel like I need to pee but then when I try and go it might spasm more and then after sometimes I'll feel a downwards pull which makes me wonder am I pushing? Would I know that I was pushing a pee out? May...

Hi whatislife, The side effects of not being able to think straight will eventually lessen so don't worry about that, unfortunately these drugs which effect the brain do sometimes make you feel like you can't think straight. I would give them a shot though unless it was really bad. Have you any pain...

Hi what is life, I'm taking the same medication for you which is used for anxiety disorders and depression. I don't think it helps with neuropathic pain though I know Violet found a benefit from it probably because there is a side effect of reducing sexual effects/drive what ever you want to call it...

My pain started before I lost my father but I do believe that you can get into a cycle of pain anxiety and then more pain and anxiety will always make things worse in terms of muscle tightness impacting on the pudendal nerve. I am waiting to see a pain pyschologist through the NHS to try and give me...

Hi Violet, Yea the physio was gave me exercise to relax my pelvic floor and she was even saying that after a week the muscles seem to be able to relax better. I didn't even realise I had pain up in side my vagina until she started poking about. I'm on day 9 of pregabalin up to 250mg, I do feel bette...

Hi Violet, thought I'd update about PT. went to see a women's health physio who said that my right hip wasn't really in line and was a bit stiff so she worked on that and then. She checked my pelvic floor and said it wasn't releasing that well. Then yesterday she was trying to massage out the trigge...

This sounds like a really odd thing to say but it feels like there is something stuck up my bum. I am prone to IBS when I am anxious though so maybe that's a cause. Its just its making me very aware of the muscles down there. Like I was doing some deep breathing exercises and I could feel a downward...

Hi Violet, I've woken up with the pgad again this morning. This symptom makes me feel physically ill, like how are you meant to cope with it? How can I go back to uni and study it makes me so creeped out. I should never have changed pregabalin in the first place. I'm on 150mg today so this is the fi...

Hi Violet, Just a quick question. I was sitting on the toilet doing a pee and the flow was good. Then I felt a downward drop/push for about 2 seconds. Now I'm wondering if that was me accidently straining or if it was just my body's natural process. Would you know if you were straining to go to the ...

Hi violet, I am hoperfully talking to my CBT nurse over the phone on Monday, so hopefully she will be able to help a little with the anxiety. I went to a womens health physio on Thursday that first said that my right hip wasn't in line and maybe that is why the pain has been lingering so long also t...
