Physically feeling tense constantly, and ticklish/anxiety if attempting a kegel

Female

Hello!

I plan on seeing a doctor, but I’m still trying to figure out how to word what I’m experiencing (and probably have been for a long time). Note that there is no pain, aside from that immediately before passing gas, (sometimes) feels exactly the same as my labor contractions did.

My best swing at it so far is:

-Vagina to rectum areas feels tense/on edge constantly

-If I try to do a kegel, both areas get so tense (but also feel weak?) that it instantly gives a similar sensation to being ticklish, while it feels like I am simultaneously experiencing symptoms of anxiety (heart feels like it’s racing, I feel panicked, can’t do steady breaths).

Potentially related things?:

-when I was younger, I would often have to draw on my very lower back to be able to urinate, but i haven’t done that in well over 10 years

-I have to push out the last of the urine after finishing

-some yoga positions bring the same sensations as kegels

-I have little-to-no sensation inside of my vagina except for several inches inside
