Dr. Pacik and Rhea Orion on vaginismus (pt. 1)

I am so very thankful that Dr. Pacik has decided to post this. There are so many people who suffer from this (I was in this category) however I made the decision to have the procedure and it has already changed my life. I encourage more women to speak out about what may be going on with them.

Thank you doctor for making this video. More doctors need to be educated in this problem. I would like to see urologists be trained. Because as you know the PC muscles can effect not just sex but can cause problems with urination, with the spincter. Please get the word out not just to patients, but to the doctors.

We all need to make vaginismus a more well known condition so that women don't need to hide. Their problem is disabling enough to themselves and their loved ones. By being open about the condition this is what will give women their freedom.

It is very difficult for a women to discuss. It is so personal and women who have this may not be aware their are others in the same situation.

I would like to see videos like yours be more pushed on youtube.

It would be great if tv shows like the Doctors would have you on the show to get the word out

I bet that if their were drugs involved to cure vaginisimus (as their is in male disfunction) the pharmaceutical companies would make it known here.

Most of the time I will treat 2-3 patients on the same day. The bonding and support is amazing. From the time they return to the recovery room through the next few days when they are advancing their dilators, this is often the first time they have had someone else to speak to.
The husbands or partners (and sometimes their mothers) also do their own bonding. We encourage them to go out ot supper together, and they get to know each other and maintain contact afterwards. This is very freeing.

I have the honor of being on Dr. Pacik's Staff. So many women come to us hopeless and downtrodden.  These same women are having miraculous breakthroughs through treatment with Dr. Pacik. It is so wonderful to see these women expirience these victories. There is hope for those afflicted with Vaginismus and his name is Peter Pacik.
