Hi ladies,
About a year ago I was diagnosed with a chronic bladder syndrome that makes intercourse so painful that it's nearly impossible. Although I've been taking the steps toward temporary treatments to lessen the pain that comes with intercourse, I have had no luck in fixing this problem.
My bladder condition is responsible for a majority of the pain that I suffer, but I also believe that some of it is derived mentally. Each time I go to try to undergo intercourse to see if the pain has since resolved, I'm bracing myself to expect pain, which in turn makes my muscles extremely tense. I now believe that a portion of the pain that I'm feeling is subconscious and mentally.
I know that it may seem a little out there, but I feel as though I've exhausted all of my options in finding a temporary treatment for this. I've recently stumbled upon the idea of potentially undergoing hypnosis to ease the pain. Although I don't personally know of any one that has done it, let alone has done it to help with chronic bodily pain, but I mentioned this to my therapist the other day. She told me that she has had clients use hypnosis in past experiences, but nothing for a chronic condition.
Just wondering if any of you have done this or know of anyone who 's done this in the past and wonder what your thoughts are about it/expand. I'm going to further look for it on other websites and see if I can obtain any helpful information and if I do I'll make sure to post about it here...
Figured that even though it sounds like it could be a little crazy, there's ultimately no harm in throwing it out there and asking around. Any information/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much

It has to be worth a go.
If the pain is from your body being damaged, you can really cause VERY serious damage by doing something that hurts. Especially if your body can't tell you to quit.
I know a lot about hypnosis, know very little about bladders. So check with your dr to make sure you might not seriously injure yourself.
