I researched this procedure. I thought I did it...

I researched this procedure. I thought I did it all right. The reviews, practitioners and patients all raved about the "pain-free and no down time procedure". From the start of the procedure it was painful and very uncomfortable. She moved around in there so fast and kept on bumping things. Felt like a cattle prod. I was bed-ridden for almost 2 days and in intense pain. Almost a week later and now I can't have sex because of the pain and loss of bladder function. I went from having amazing orgasms and never painful sex EVER (just needed lube) to destroying my life. I don't know what happened! But - because of the intense initial pain I should have figured that the procedure was not being done properly. Glad for all you ladies who are reaping the rewards. Hopefully I have no permanent damage. No bashing the device at this point - just the person who performed it.

Not happy with provider. Told them I was in pain and discomfort. Certainly something went horribly wrong.

Did the probe feel like it was burning you?

It did for me

How are you now? The practitioner told me although the procedure is painless, women with one or no childbirths could feel some discomfort. I'm in that category, and felt a little too much warm a couple of times. She moved the probe to another area. Coverall it was painless and no downtime at all.

I hope you went to your OBGYN to find out what happened. My procedure is awesome and has successfully increased lubricatiin, pleasure and cosmetic satisfaction. I am so sorry you had such a bad experience, but it seems that the provider didn't know what they were doing....

I felt the exact same way you are describing. Initially the wand felt too hot, she moved it around too fast,and it hurt.

I am just curious if everything was great why did you do it? Just for the way the vaginal area looked? Not judging, I hate mine too.
