potential vaginal septum, don't want to go to the gyn for it to turn out it's nothing
I suspect I might have a vaginal septum, and I am already diagnosed with vaginism (which might be related, if that's the case). I'm physically unable to have intercourse, and any kind of insertion at all just really really hurts, including ob/gyn visits, so I don't want to go and have them poke around if it's nothing. Does anyone know of any idk, medical research articles or whatever where they show a vaginal septum that's not undergoing surgery? Seeing the surgery in progress doesn't help me with my not-bloody, not-dissected hooha, nor do the anatomical drawings that just... don't look like a hooha at all. Or any other resources I could check out for a bit more certainty?
(I'm also currently in a foreign country where I don't speak the language well, so that adds to my reluctance to go to the ob/gyn rn)
