Re: have reverse kegels ever worked for anyone?

Did your doc tell you to do reverse kegels without giving you any guidance as to how to do them? What did he say a reverse kegel is?

have reverse kegels ever worked for anyone?

Hi everyone,With taking out caffeine, chocolate and alcohol from my diet I passed my cotton swab test at the gyno last week (yay!) but I am still have what seem to be muscular pains during sex.My gyno suggested trying reverse kegels and if that didn't work to try vaginal dialators at my next visit in 6 weeks. I read as much as I could find in the past threads about reverse kegels but I was wondering-- have reverse kegels ever worked for anyone or should I just go ahead and buy some vaginal dialators?Also, does anyone know a good online source to buy vaginal dialators? I have a boyfriend and don't want to wait for six weeks doing ineffective things!Thanks!-

Hey everyone,

My gyno who specializes in vulvar-vaginal issues (at least, that was

what she was refered to me as) suggested a low oxalate (IC) diet

which I promptly went on with the help of a naturopath. At my next

visit the cotton swab test didn't feel like sharp knives anymore at

which point I started introducing more high oxalate foods into my

diet to see what I could eat. The only things I haven't re-

introduced have been coffee (any kind of caffeine), chocolate and

alcohol and so far I seem to be doing ok with cotton swabs.

I'm not sure how knowledgeable my gyno is about these things (she

didn't seem all that enthusiastic about diet changes, had the nurses

give me a handout on KEGELS (not reverse) and isn't giving me a lot

of instruction just " here- try this, we'll see what happens in 6

weeks... bye! " ) so if anyone knows of anyone in the Toronto, Canada

(or Southern Ontario) area that would be really helpful!

And I joined happy pelvis!

Thanks Molly, Chelle and Carolyn

drops...does that make sense? If you have tight pelvic floor

muscles they can indeed be helpful. Also, PT by a pelvic floor

dysfunction PT can be of great help...but not all of them are

created equal! If you are interested, tell me where you live

and we'll see if we can find someone for you.
