So, PT for your vagina is apparently totally a thing. Like, massage and stretching. For the vagina.

You mean like kegel exercises? Or perineal massage to prepare for childbirth? I'm assuming that the woman or her partner do the massage and stretching, not the PT.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

So, PT for your vagina is apparently totally a thing. Like, massage and stretching. For the vagina. Totally covered by insurance. And apparently rather commonplace. My brain is having trouble coping.

Pelvic floor dysfunction is an actual medical condition, and fairly damn painful. Why wouldn't there be treatments for it? Why shouldn't insurance cover an actual medical condition, given that it covers other actual medical conditions that happen in other body parts? It's not a "happy ending" massage thing; it's actual PT.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I mean internal massage for the multiple muscles around the vaginal area. About three steps above kegel exercises. Apparently it's quite common in other countries post-childbirth to restore the pelvic floor muscles. Also in the US for treatment of vulvar vestibulitis and vaginitis. The PT did a significant amount of masssaging and stretching and then wrote down a list of stretching exercises for me to do at home. Next question is will insurance covers various sized dildos as "durable medical goods."

It's amazing what people never talk about

eta: and yes teppy is right as usual, it's nowhere near a "happy ending", I've had roll-off-the-table agonizing trigger point massages that weren't that uncomfortable.

I wasn't disagreeing with you.

and i guess the backstory is that my mind was blown because that referral from my ob/gyn came after months of misery and me worrying that i was broken and dysfunctional and would never have fun sexy times again. And being afraid to talk about it with anyone other than my BFF who finally prodded me to go to the Dr. Makes me wonder how many other ladies are suffering and think it's something they can't do anything about.

I know more than a few people who could stand to have that discussion, actually, erin.

And it's totally fixable! Ok, the treatment isn't "fun" per se, but it ain't surgery or harsh meds and at least now the sick feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach over that particular issue has lifted. Plus, the boy finds it highly intriguing.

Hence my use of the word "or". But erin's and Steph's explanations are very helpful. I am not surprised it's a thing as I know back-to-back babies did a number on a whole slew of muscle groups for me, ranging from abs down to pelvis, and I've been doing various exercises for years to bring it all back into whack.
