First, I am sorry that happened to you. What a shit doctor and piece of human trash.

Yes, it is entirely possible your pelvic muscles responded to this trauma by tightening up in general and specifically when something comes near them, a.k.a. by developing vaginismus. It’s their way of ‘protecting’ themselves.

And it makes sense that you wouldn’t want to go to a obgyn to diagnose something caused by another obgyn. Personally I found my obgyn to be muuuch less understanding of pelvic pain and the intricacies involved in it than my physical therapist. The physical therapist didn’t do any internal work for the first few sessions; she wanted to get to know me and my background first. All that is to say that I found physical therapy to be so much better than the gyno’s office. But if you aren’t interested I think you can definitely do a lot of good work towards recovery on your own. And if it turns out you don’t have vaginismus I don’t think you’d have done any damage to your pelvic floor by self-treating for the condition, since treatment for vaginismus is meant to be gentle. The ‘worst’ thing that could happen is that you’re more in tune with your pelvic floor.

Okay. Recommendations.

My PT recommended this workbook and accompanying journal: Completely Overcome Vaginismus. Neither of us were fans of the title (way to set the bar intimidatingly high!) but the content is super helpful. It has diagrams of your pelvic muscles, an overview of the condition, gradual steps to take towards recovery. Each chapter builds off the last. It’s geared more towards couples which is a bit annoying - there are way more single women working on recovery from pelvic pain than the world seems to realize. But aside from that I think it’s worth your while to get.

Dilators. Get yourself a good dilator set. You mentioned you can’t insert a tampon. The smallest dilator is usually a bit bigger than a tampon. My PT said to start with a Q-tip and work my way up to a tampon/finger (whichever is less intimidating), then the first dilator, etc. without pressuring myself or giving myself a timeline to live up to.

I got this set. I like it because it’s also a vibrator! Which brings me to my next recommendation: orgasms. Orgasming is a great way to relax your pelvic muscles, which helps with insertion when you’re ready. You mentioned that you’re not interested in sex, which is a really understandable response to your experience. I think it could be beneficial for you to gradually work on learning what does and doesn’t bring you pleasure. And when you orgasm you’re telling your muscles and your mind that something other than pain is possible from touch.

Before dilation I manually massage my pelvic muscles. I got into the routine I learned at pelvic therapy in this post - check it out if you’re interested. You basically start up by your clitoris and super gently massage the muscles that extend down from your clitoris towards your perinium, first going in the same direction as the muscle tissue (vertical) and then, if you want, working gently against the muscle tissue (horizontally) while still moving down.

FemFusioin Fitness on YouTube has a nice pelvic floor stretching routine that is geared towards people with pelvic pain/disorders. When I do it. it really helps me to release built-up tension that I haven't even necessarily notice I’ve been holding on to. I modify some of the stretches to be less intense though, because the whole point is to be gentle with yourself.

Finding ways to relax the muscles around your pelvis, particularly the gluteal muscles and abdominal muscles, is really helpful because that gives your pelvic muscles the space to relax, too. Tension can often creep from one muscle group to another. Yoga is great if you’re into that. Also my physical therapist told me to stick a tennis ball in an old pair of tights, stand with my back against the wall and my feet really close to the wall (super important), and use the tennis ball to massage my butt muscles by pushing the tennis ball into the wall. (The tights are to keep the ball from falling). Don’t push too hard though - a light touch goes a long way!

There are definitely other things that are helpful to do at home, and if I think of any more I’ll add them here. I think the fact that you’ve recognized vaginismus is the likely name for your pain shows that you are in tune with your body, and that’s the best first step towards recovering.
