Are you experiencing pain with sex, or general pelvic pain?

Pelvic pain affects 1 in 5 women and can be associated with symptoms such as sexual pain, pelvic floor muscle spasm, bladder and bowel issues, bloating, and anxiety.

At Pelvic Fit Melbourne, we are able to offer treatment for the following pelvic pain conditions:

• Dyspareunia - pain before, during or after vaginal penetration. Pain can occur at the vulva region, entrance of vagina, or deep inside th vagina.

• Vaginismus - recurring or persistent involuntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. This can be associated with sexual intercourse, speculum examination and tampon insertion. Vaginismus can be the cause or the consequence of dyspareunia.

• Vulvodynia - Pain to vulva or vaginal introitus that may or may not be associated with sexual intercourse and occurs in the absence of gross anatomic or neurological findings. The pain is often described as a burning, stinging, stabbing, throbbing or tearing sensation.

• Proctalgia - sudden onset of severe pain in the rectum due to spasm of the pelvic floor muscles or anal sphincter muscles. The pain can last for a few seconds or minutes, and is described as a stabbing pain like a knife sticking into the rectum

• Chronic pelvic pain - refers to pain around the pelvic region that lasts for 3-6 months or longer. Chronic pain can have multiple causes such as previous injury, nerve damage/ sensitivity, as well as psychological factors such as stress and anxiety.
