30daysofcreativity - Day 12

Do you know what vestibulodynia is? I asked my fiancée after seeing a documentary and a whole lot of reactions online about it, he didn’t know and unfortunately I think there are many people with him that haven’t either. So we watched the documentary, in Swedish TV (SVTplay). It is vaginal pain (further explained on wikipedia) described in the documentary as having a wound in the vagina which is causing a range of different issues. One of the worst problems they bring to attention being uneducated doctors recommending treatment for other diseases which causes the problem to be worse. Another problem is the connection to an ambitious lifestyle. Even one of the few educated doctors claimed there was a connection between being ambitious and an increased risk for this disease or if you would call it disturbance. The reason I claim so is they said behavioral treatment has been very successful.

My thoughts are that this is sad, there are so many ambitious and successful women that are stressing their bodies to such an extent that they no longer can feel pleasure, or even use a pair of jeans. To rape your own mind and body - is it really worth it?
