Hi,
I'm very new to PN -- suffering now for about 3 weeks, and only figured out that it is PN last week. My main symptoms are pain in my clitoris (it also seems to have shrunk), along with little to no engorgement of my vulva tissues -- they seem to have shrunk as well. I'm not responding to any sexual stimulus (eg if my clit is rubbed, I don't engorge and I don't "get wet" in my vagina). I'm also having some urinary urgency at times.
Has anyone ever recovered from this condition? I"m only 42 and so badly want to be better again and resume my very satisfying sex life and just have my body work properly.
I'm reluctant to have surgery etc. Hopeful some physio therapy can help me?
Any encouragement or success stories out there?
Thank you,
Love13
