A few years ago, I've been treated badly by a boy that I was seeing. Since that time, for already two years now, I'm suffering from very severe vaginismus. My vagina is marked by scars, which provokes a lot of pain. I have tried different forms of care and therapy, but still I don't succeed in having sex the way I'd like to - the pain makes me cry. All this makes me feel very sad, and it causes me a lot of psychological stress. I feel different from other girls, and I wonder if one day I'll be able to have pleasurable sex again. For now, I am staying strong and I don't lose hope. Thank you for having read my story and for what you do.
