Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hello, My vestibulitis I would say has gone away or enough not to interfere with intercourse anymore. It is just a trace and I think what I have done may help someone else. When I first had the condition diagnosed by my gyn about eight or nine years ago, he said get in a support group. He did suggest natural supplements like OPC-3 an antioxident, good vitamins, and water. He also said to avoid Charmin tissue which is very toxic because it contains a dioxin type chemical. He also suggested topically to use a mixture of three essentil oils which I did to protect the outer tissues. They were tea tree, German chamomille, and jojoba oil. (I have the proportions if anyone wants to write me.) It got better and even went away using the oils 5 times a day; and when it came back I tried the oils and tissue paper again, but this time did not work for me. I could not have intercourse as it was too painful. In February of this year, I had sciatica and went into regular physical therapy for that. My sacrum was way out of alignment and they pushed it back into place. My hamstrings were extremely tight. At the same time, I used Tree of Life Noni Juice to help with my inflammation and pain as I am allergic to most painkillers. I have faithfully done my back stretching and strengthening exercise. Also I added Kegels when I push the back down, I do my Kegels. I did not expect this but my Vestiublitis went away! Now I think that pelvic floor dysfunction may be part of this puzzle, as getting my back stretched out and aligned helped the pelvic floor as well. Also the Noni helped with inflammation. Also I went to a massage therapist and used myofascial release to help with the tightness to the hamstring and hip areas. One thing I think now is that tightness in one area leads to tightness somewhere else, and with muscle tightness there is lack of blood flow and increased inflammation. Then the inflammed area is even more sensitive to external toxins. This is what I think for now. Who would have thought solving one problem would affect my Vestibulits? Here are two good articles I came across: http://www.ourgyn.com/article_retrieve.php?articleid=184 http://www.medscape.com/medline/abstract?pmid=11995597 I was not looking for helping my back, hip and leg muscles would somehow help this, but I would suggest that anyone with Vestibulits consider getting their back looked at even if you are not in pain with that. Those tight muscles may be behind what is happening and by just focusing on the local area of pain, we may be missing the original cause. I wish you all well and freedom from this condition.
