[@LoserEvie]

I ended up getting an IUD a couple months ago but ended up getting it under sedation due to how painful it was for me to insert even a finger or a tampon. Once I woke up from the procedure my gyne told me I REACTED WHILE UNDER! my body twitched when he tried to use the speculum and I have zero memory of it. He then diagnosed me with this and I’ve just been even more embarrassed since finding out since I can’t do simple things lot of other women can do with no problem, like inserting a tampon or even just putting a finger up there. I went to my regular doctor a couple weeks ago for a string check and couldn’t even get her to stick a finger in there with out pain. I was so embarrassed and she asked if I wanted to be referred to pelvic floor therapy but I felt since I’m so young and haven’t even been in an intimate relationship I didn’t need it. But over the past weeks I’ve just been dwindling on what if I needed my iud instantly removed? What am I gonna do when it needs to be removed? What am I gonna do IF I end up in an intimate relationship? So I of course went to KZbin LOL. I’m hoping to try these out and hopefully be able to at least get a pelvic exam done. I’m also hoping if I start to get results my anxiety about anything being inserted will go down a lot allowing me to actually be successful in the first place. Sorry for the rant I’m just stuck in this huge thought and needed to let it out.

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

It’s not unusual for muscles to contract during surgery. This is why generally they use muscle relaxants in order to prevent the contactions during surgery. However, as your procedure was simply for fitting an IUD and you weren’t yet diagnosed with vaginismus, they wouldn’t have expected to need muscle relaxants to block involuntary contractions. (Vaginismus is a condition of involuntary contractions). Pelvic floor physiotherapy should help a lot, especially given that the contraction of the pelvic floor is also impacted by other muscles so you likely have an imbalance in other muscles that contributes to the vaginismus response. A good pelvic floor physio won’t just look at your pelvic floor but will asses your body for contributing factors. These kinds of exercises can also help a lot as they focus not just on the pelvic floor but also on other muscle groups that contribute. You will likely also need to do dilation, and to some therapy to work on the fear aspect of the condition. You can read a little more in this article: theflowerempowered.com/2020/12/17/5-steps-to-overcome-vaginismus/

Please pray for me

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

I’m so sorry to hear of your struggles. Can you get an appointment with a pelvic floor physiotherapist? It’s important to get a formal diagnosis rather than to self diagnose. You can read more about vaginismus and some of the steps you can take which will help with painful sex even if you don’t have vaginismus: theflowerempowered.com/2020/12/17/5-steps-to-overcome-vaginismus/ but I can’t stress enough the importance of speaking with your doctor or physiotherapist 🌸

Thank you so much. You are right i will follow your videos and consult my doctor.

[@THETRUETALES-z6g]

Is it the reason i am not able to conceive?

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

It’s not possible to say- you really need to get checked by doctor and physio in order to know what is contributing to your issue, but your chances may improve when you are pain free as your nervous system is likely on high stress with the given situation.

[@celiaescalante]

These exercises are great for muscles and the back! I just started subscripting. Does anyone here actually get dilation from them?

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

The exercises help with pelvic gloomy relaxation, which can make it easier to dilate. It very much depends on what is triggering the hypertonicity. For example, if tension on your low back or glutes are contributing to pelvic floor hypertonicity then you may see very fast results.

[@saimakhawar8770]

Symptoms Of Vaginismus? Is Hypertonic Pelvic Floor & Vaginismus same? Difference between Vaginismus, Vulvodynia & Vestibulodynia?

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

Great questions. Hypertonic pelvic floor is tightness of the pelvic floor. Vaginismus is an involuntary contraction in response to attempted penetration - not the same as hypertonicity but you can have vaginismus and hypertonicity. Vulvodynia means pain around the vulva. Vulva meaning external portion of the female genitals and dynia meaning pain. Vestibulodynia is pain in the vestibule (part of the glands of the vulva). You can read more on these conditions on my website: theflowerempowered.com/knowledge-portal/pelvic-floor-dysfunction/

Before doing this exercise, everytime I inserted my middle finger I only could insert the tip of my finger and it would leave a burning sensation. I couldn't go further because the muscle was really tensed and it became painful. But now I can insert 2/3 of my fingers (yes, two fingers) and there's no burning sensation anymore. Muscle feels much more relaxed. I'll keep doing this exercise. Thank you so much for helping me.

Would doing this before an obgyn appointment make it hurt less? Or is there a combination of excerises that can help with making it not hurt? Thank you!!!!

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

It can be helpful to relax the pelvic floor muscles. You could also try a breathing technique where you inhale deeply for a count of 4 and exhale slowly for a count of 8 as this activates the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest mode) which can help with further relaxation during your exam.

[@emilymarino1177]

Thank you so much!! 💓

[@AdminAngel3845]

I have really tight pelvic floor muscles due to a permanent limp. Penetration became so much easier with regular streches like these, plus manual stretching the area with lube ahead of time. I was told to think of dial of a clock. Stretch your internal muscles at 2,3,4 and 8,9,10. It stings a bit at first if you are really tight, but then the muscles relax and the speculum will not feel like it is forcing things open.

They shouldn't, but if you are experiencing low back spasms, you may have some hypertonicity in the muscles around your low back or some weakness in your core muscles.

Hi madam..is it safe for pregnant women?

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

When practicing any style of Yoga during pregnancy, you should make adaptations to the poses to accommodate the bump and to prevent overstretching of ligaments as your body is producing relaxin, a hormone that relaxes ligaments to make delivery easier. I would suggest you attend a prenatal yoga class if you can. Whereas I have trained in prenatal yoga, it’s not possible to guide you without seeing you personally, so it really is best if you find someone local. Sorry!

Hello, i'm currently incorporating these relaxation steps on a daily basis (if not, on alternate days). This may sound a lil weird (sorry), but is it normal to "fart" after these workouts cos this happened for me. Is that in any way a sign that my pelvic muscles relaxing?😅 Also do you have any case study of succesful cases where they can have penetrative sex and how soon after these exercises?

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

Thats not a strange question at all! The positions can stimulate movement within the abdominal space, which can lead to the release of gas from the rectum or in some cases air from the vaginal passage. The air can get drawn in to the vagina in some positions (just physics!). Some people get very fast results from these exercises - which you will see if you read through the comments. For some, dilation and other practices are needed. I do have a course for overcoming vaginismus and have recently received a message to say that pain free sex was achieved after just 3 weeks of practice. Each body is different so it’s best to work with your own body, listen to your body and stay consistent 🌸😊

In the video description, you will find links to the website and the community where you will find a lot of information on pelvic floor dysfunction as well as specialists who can help to do an assessment. It’s always worth getting checked rather than self-diagnosing 😊🌸

Yes, anyone can try them, particularly if you want to relax your pelvic floor. For Kegels, you need to try a different video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHjaqZ-NhtlgiZY

[@liviemegan]

hello ur videos are so helpful thank u sm i’ve made sm progress however i do have one question so basically i can have sex and use sex toys that penetrate but i don’t feel the g spot pleasure unless theres clit stimulation is there a way to fix that? like i wanna be able to feel the g spot pleasure even if there’s no clit stimulation

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

This is a great question, and actually, there is little scientific evidence that the g-spot actually exists. The clitoris is the equivalent of the head of the penis - it’s where all the nerves are. There are only a small percentage of women who feel internal pleasure without clitoral stimulation. With clitoral stimulation, penetration tends to be more pleasurable and the chances of having an “internal” orgasm are definitely increased, but orgasm with penetration or internal stimulation without external stimulation of the clitoris is not common. Hope that helps!

[@karlakurucz127]

I cry whenever I try to relax. 🥲 idk what’s wrong with me.

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

It’s actually pretty normal to have emotional release when practicing this type of yoga. In yoga we sat that you hold “issues in your tissues”. Then next time you are in the stressful or worrying situation, bring your awareness to your body and you will find where you are holding tension. It’s that tension that gets released, and along with it, the emotion that places it there. Allow yourself to left fo and cry as much as you need to. Eventually you will feel better ❤️

A suggestion: I think it would be better to have your voices in the video telling us how to relax and how to breathe. This way we wouldn't have to look at the screen all the time. The beep sounds are a bit stressing for me too and maybe to other people as well. Keep up with the good work!

[@TheFlowerEmpowered]

Thanks for the great feedback! I actually made this style of video in response to feedback from another subscriber who wanted me not to talk in the video and to have the beeps to let them know when to come out of the poses! It’s actually a lot more work to create this style of video versus my usual style where I talk so I am glad to hear you like the other style. Most of the videos in the pelvic floor relaxation playlist have me talking with soft music and no beeps. If you haven’t already, try one of those and tell me if it works better for you 😊🌸

I encountered this video more than a year ago. I was diagnosed with vulvadynia and I felt so alone with my condition. Every evening I was observing a sunset 🌅 plunging my room into darkness where I was alone with my pain which would not be relieved by anything at all. I was looking forward to these stretches every evening. Looking back now I feel this malady has transformed me from the inside out, it turned me into a stronger and more resilient person. Having recovered, I have occasional mild flare ups from time to time. I just recently remembered about these wonderful stretches again. Coming back here feels so nice! I absolutely love the music, stretches, timer and the instructor !! When I was so alone in the whole world, you gave me hope and courage to persevere and I managed to recover. Thank you million times ❤

I hear you!! We have become so accustomed to sitting in chairs that most of us lose the range of motion to do a full squat. Thankfully, the body adapts based on what we ask it to do, so if you work on some gentler versions of squat (such as wall squats), that can help a lot with restoring range of motion around ankles, knees and hips to allow a comfortable squat 😊🌸
