How to treat vaginismus and digestive issues like gas and constipation after colonoscopy? - #56520
Having vaginismus, treating it through dilation. Recent colonoscopy detected haemorrhoids after frequent blood in stools due to constipation; been a lot in control and healing over the past 6-7 months. Frequent gas build up and pain on the mid-left side right below the chest. Had a brief episode of hypothyroid 6-7 years ago; not on medication now. Been underweight for most of my life; having difficulty putting on weight also due to genetic factors. Have tried increasing protein and fatty foods in my diet; but it mostly leaves me feeling gassy, bloated and/or sluggish, dull, slow and sleepy. Get my periods pretty regularly although the first few hours are extremely painful (both stomach and back). Sometimes have heavy, depressing moods and calf muscle pain pre onset of the period. Been tackling depression, anxiety and stress due to life issues; not on any medication.
