Today on the podcast we sit down with Gabrielle Rodman. Gabrielle shares her very personal journey of experiencing debilitating pelvic floor pain and her journey to discover diagnosis and treatment. After months of experiencing symptoms including, painful sex, and painful movement in her day-to-day, Gabrielle was written off by 4 doctors, telling her that there was nothing medically wrong -- and to drink a glass of wine to manage the pain. Refusing to give up on herself, and trusting that her pain was real, she finally found a doctor at “The Centers for Vulvovaginal Disorders” where she was diagnosed with Hypertonic Pelvic Floor Muscle Dysfunction. 

On this episode, Gabrielle details her experience being her own health advocate, struggling with painful sex as a 20-something living in New York City, and her road to recovery which included unique treatments like pelvic floor Botox injections, that completely transformed her pain. We are grateful to Gabrielle for sharing her journey and can’t wait for you to hear the episode!
