Vaginal dilators offer many benefits, including allowing the muscles to gradually stretch muscles throughout time, improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and introducing gentle stretching of pelvic floor muscles throughout time. A pelvic floor physical therapist may be able to help you and guide you throughout this process.
