hey to all my girls and women out there if you guys are having significant pain with intercourse whether it’s on entry or during intercourse and it feels like there’s also potentially something getting in a way like there’s a block it feels like your partner’s penis doesn’t fit or any type of penetration um it’s just not happening because something’s either stuck or too painful and stuck then i want all of you guys to know that this is a legitimate issue and it is a physical issue and no one should
be telling you that this problem is in your head now who am i i’m hina sheth i am a pelvic floor physical therapist i’ve been working on women and men actually for you know 21 years now and i’m our practice is called rebalance physical therapy and wellness we’re located in philadelphia as well as on the main line in norbert pennsylvania and um you know i’m sure just off the get-go some of you are like yes i was told that this problem is in my head or i went to my gyn and they basically said that i
need to relax i need to just have a glass of wine or i need to stop having so much anxiety around this and then maybe therapy might be head therapy might be able to help now possibly for some of you head therapy might be able to help however um a lot of this is actually a physical problem and i’m going to tell you why and especially for many of you young girls who i know you know it’s probably causing a lot of depression i hate to say in some of you who have attempted to have intercourse and you’re probably
wondering what’s wrong with me why is all of my why are all of my friends being able to have intercourse and i can’t and everybody else is enjoying it and i’m not and so i want you to know you’re not alone 30 of women in this world have an issue with what i’m going to be talking about and they manifest in different ways but there are so many of you women and young young women and women who are all the way up until their 70s who are actively um sexual and are having problems so i want you to know
first of all you are not alone so i’m going to tell you what the problem is now most of the time when you go to a gynecologist many times and there are some amazing gynecologists out there that really understand this problem so i don’t want to knock all gynecologists but for the majority i’ve heard many many many times that their gynecologist just tells them we don’t know what it is um or they tell them that this is the problem and then they don’t tell them what to do about it so here is the
anatomy of the saddle or the perineum area which is the area where you have your rectum this is where you have your um where you uh defecate or poop out of and then this is your vaginal this is the vagina opening and then there is your urethra which is what you pee out of now when a gynecologist goes in they go in and they check the tissue in and around the vaginal opening as well as the internal part of the vagina and they check the cervix they check your ovaries they check all of those things and their main goal is to make sure there’s
nothing cancerous going on there’s no you know fibroid type things like all of these big medical things that might require more medical type intervention but what many of them don’t realize is there’s a whole system of muscles that actually go through this area and this musculature okay down here right all this red stuff that’s in and around the vagina and the labia and all that kind of stuff this is called your pelvic floor and the pelvic floor musculature are muscles that you can’t see on the
outside but they are basically just like any other muscles in the body and these muscles can become tight and they they can then cause pain with anything entering into the vagina and coming out of the vagina and this can also be accompanied by many other problems in the bladder as well as in the gi system and the rectum that many of you guys may not be actually putting together and so these muscles if they become tight can cause a real big problem and it can cause everything from pain like i’ve had women in our practice
where we could not even insert a pinky and even like even trying to use a q-tip in this area was so so so so painful okay so it can be that extreme and for some some even experience just pain with wearing underwear just even that like rubbing of the underwear can cause pain and then for some of you you feel like okay we can have intercourse but it is just really it feels like there’s a block it feels like i can’t go through it feels like my partner can only go a certain distance and then it’s like it just doesn’t go
for some of you it’s just pain but it’s deeper or the pain causes like abdominal pain so that is something that we often hear as well is that it’s not down here that hurts but i get this severe abdominal pain and weirdly enough these muscles can actually cause pain that feels like it’s in your ovaries or even in your abdomen now i have been creating youtube videos since 2009 where i have gone through and you guys are more than welcome to watch all of my other youtube videos or you could just subscribe to our
channel but i have talked about a lot of these issues in depth in some of my other videos however i wanted to stop reiterating the same things that i was saying over and over again and what we ended up creating is a link below um that basically goes through a free 33 minute or 30 minute powerpoint presentation on how a lot of things like low back pain hip pain buttock area pain pain with sex bladder issues rectal issues gi issues how all of these things are interconnected and how all of the other muscles in your
body interconnect with a problem down here and we created that because we felt like we were having we’ve had such a big presence on youtube now and we’ve had so many people contact us that wanted to know more and so we created that free powerpoint it’s in the information box down below and there is also a program that we created now recently due to the demand of people really wanting to know how they can start treating this themselves and in addition how to get additional help to help this area and like i said why believe me
because i’ve been doing this for 21 years now and we’ve treated thousands of women and men with problems in this area and helped them get back to a more happier functional sex life where now you don’t realize it you know it’s not in your head this is actually a physical problem that can be treated very successfully with the right type of treatment so um for all of you guys um if you any of the information that you needed below we also do case management calls where we have video conference calls with people
all over the world where we’re talking to them about these specific issues and more um really pertaining to them and give them our recommendations um give them appropriate referrals where they possibly need to see an expert in this area potentially and then also how to navigate through our program that we have now created for all of you who are having this problem and it’s easy enough to do right out of your own home so um i hope this resonates with many of you are having this problem and you guys feel less anxious less stressed
and more calm that there is someone out there that really understands what you’re going through and that there is help so have a great day take care
