Do you know the difference between vulvodynia & vestibulodynia? 🤔

Vulvodynia simply means👉 pain in the v***a, which includes the cl;toris, l***a, mons p***s, perineum, h***n, and vestibule.
⠀
Vestibulodynia is👉 pain in the vestibule, a more precise description for the area of pain 😖

The vestibule is depicted in the picture above ☝️and extends from inside the l***a minora to the h***n & houses the opening of the urethra and our major & minor glands that provide some of our lubrication when we are arou$ed.⠀
⠀
Understandably, most people with painful seggs & v***ar pain may not know 🔎where the vestibule is🔍 unless they have seen v***ar expert who explains the differences❗

🚨Importantly, the vestibule is anatomically different from the rest of the v***a🚨

DID YOU KNOW? The pelvic floor muscles quietly perform four essential functions that keep the body supported, balanced, and connected every day🙏

When these functions are off, signs like leaking, pelvic pain, or back discomfort can appear; all signals that the foundation needs attention.

Lets get into those functions 👇

1️⃣ Support
Provides lift and stability for the pelvic organs and core system.
2️⃣ Sphincteric Control
Regulates bladder and bowel function with coordination and ease.
3️⃣ Seggsual Function
Contributes to arou$al, sensation, and comfort, movement and relaxation.
4️⃣ Postural Integration: Works with the hips, spine, and diaphragm to support posture and movement.

A healthy pelvic floor isn’t just strong 👉 it’s responsive, adaptable, and in tune with the rest of the body.

Overactivity can be just as limiting as weakness, and true function comes from balance, breath, and awareness.

Paying attention to these 4️⃣ roles can improve comfort, control, and confidence in movement and daily life.

Perimenopause and menopause are finally getting more attention & we’re grateful this is finally happening because people in these phases of life are struggling with 📣TREATABLE📣 symptoms.

People think of perimenopause as a time marked by irregular periods but much more than that is happening ↪️ It can begin as early as in the 30s from some, almost all v***a owners will be in perimenopause by their 40s.

Me**es may be regular or irregular, & four other symptoms of perimenopause are common regardless of the status of the menstrual cycle itself.

Sleep Disturbances 💤
Estrogen decline begins in perimenopause and is linked to difficulty falling and staying asleep. It’s suggested that decreasing testosterone and progesterone levels may play a factor, however, more research is needed.

Mood Challenges 🥴
Menstrually-related mood disorders are real syndromes affecting quality of life. Studies show the depression/anxiety associated with hormone fluctuations have different presentations than other anxiety and depression disorders. Most people have heard of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and postpartum depression.

Decreased Libido 🔥
Declining hormones cause changes in our desire and our ability to become arou$ed. Vulvovaginal and pelvic floor changes are occurring during perimenopause and cause seggsual pain and diminished or inability to org@sm.

Urinary urgency, frequency, leaking 💧
The vulvovaginal area, PF muscles, and the urethra/bladder have estrogen and testosterone receptors. Age related changes, previous pregnancies and childbirth and hormonal decline can result in pelvic floor dysfunction.

Every v***a owner entering perimenopause can benefit from an evaluation with a pelvic floor PT to help optimize their pelvic health during this transition and reduce irritative bladder symptoms.

Solutions are available but before we can get to that point people need to understand what is happening and why. Stay tuned for more info ❤️

Perimenopause begins earlier than you think! 😲 Most people in their 20’s and 30’s may not think they need to know about perimenopause & the info doesn’t apply to them 🧠

A few signs of progesterone decline include:
💢Breast tenderness
🩸Irregular periods or spotting in between
💫Vaginal dryness
😓Depression, anxiety and mood swings

Signs of testosterone deficiency include:
💪Muscle weakness
💤Fatigue
❤️‍🔥Low libido
😶‍🌫️Sexual dissatisfaction
💫Vaginal dryness

Estrogen declines over time and will eventually result in menopause, which is defined as a lack of me**es for 1 year.

The reduction in estrogen weakens our PF muscles (which contributes to increased risk of pelvic organ prolapse)💢

While this info can be surprising, it is all treatable with medical care and consideration to our PF & girdle muscles 🙌

Many younger v***a owners may not be aware of the controversy surrounding hormone therapy and historically what has happened to v***a owners 📜

Perimenopause is a good time to check in with your pelvic floor & you may be a candidate for pelvic floor and girdle muscle strengthening if your muscles are starting to weaken.

If you are not sure if your muscles are weak or not please consult with a pelvic floor physical/occupational therapist! ❤️

Not all care is created equal 🥴

We get it — choosing between “in-network” and “out-of-network” care can be confusing (and let’s be honest… stressful 😩). But when it comes to your pelvic health, the kind of care you get truly matters.

At PHRC, every session is one-on-one, hands-on, and personalized 👉 no rushed visits, no juggling multiple patients at once.

💆‍♀️ You’re getting specialized care from pelvic health experts who actually take the time to listen, treat, and help you make real progress.

While in-network might seem less expensive up front, our blog breaks down why investing in the right care can actually save you time, money, and frustration in the long run.
