6 Sex Tips From the Vagician
Here are some tips to enhance your sex life and give you the orgasm you so deserve.
Pelvic Pain
After any sort of trauma to this area, the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) typically want to protect you, so they will tighten up and go into a spastic state. This can lead to consistent pain that doesn’t have much of a rhyme or reason as to when or why it is occuring. Pelvic floor therapists can help retrain the muscles to lengthen, relax, and decrease the spasms.
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is defined as the occurrence of tissue that normally lines the uterus starts to grow outside of the uterus. This can lead to some abdominal and pelvic discomfort and pain. Similar to IC/bladder pain and chronic pelvic pain, there can be a central nervous system disruption leading to a centralization of pain.
