His and Her Health

Hi, <BR>I'm new here and I hope someone here will know what I'm talking about.<BR>I have horrible pain inside when I have an orgasm. It doesn't hurt at the beginning of sex, it starts to sting when I get turned on, then when I orgasm it hurts so bad I have to stop everything. <P>I was diagnosed with levator spasms. the levator ani is the muscle group that surrounds the pelvic area and down around the anus. All of this spasms and burns, stings, HURTS.<P>I've begun to avoid sex, and when I do have sex I avoid an orgasm. The spasms are much worse when it's an orgasm due to sex instead of masterbation. I think that's simply because I'm more excited.<P>I've tried muscle relaxers, they used to help, but not any more. I went to a physical therapist who specializes in pelvic pain. I did the excercises (and still do some of them) but they never helped very much. <BR>Has anyone out there had any experience with this?<BR>I'm getting married this year, and I don't want to start my marriage on the wrong foot. He is very understanding, but it does get to him.<P>Thank you for any help. Wendy<P>* MODERATOR'S NOTE<BR>I suggest you post this on OURGYN.com bulletin board and OURGYN/VULVAR PAIN<BR>
