sore after sex
| Tue, 06-15-2004 - 7:54am |
I have been with my BF for almost two years, and he is my second partner. ( my first partner and I only had sex once). We have had sex since soon after I met him, and up unitl a few months ago it felt fine. Now, when ever we have sex, it feels like I am too small for him to fit in my vagina. Like it shrank or something! Also, when we are done, the inside of my vagina is usually sore and stings when I pee. We dont have "rough" sex, and he is not THAT big, so I dont know what the problem is. We have sex the exact same way we did before I started feeling sore. Sometimes it's so bad, that we cant do it for a couple days after. One time, I even had to put an ice pack down there, because it hurt so bad. It almost feels like there are tiny cuts inside my vagina, but how could that be? And why NOW, after having sex with him for almost 2 years? I am on the BC pill, and was wondering if it could possibly cause the vaginal tissue to thin, making it easier to tear, or some other side effect like that. It seemed to start when I started my new BC pill, Zovia, which was about 5 months ago. Any help? Thank you.:)

If adding lube doesn't help, then the next thing you should do is talk to your doctor about the possible side effects of the pill you're on. Maybe you need a different formulation.
What else is going on in the relationship? Problems like this in the bedroom are often the result of problems outside the bedroom.
Whatever is causing it, it's not normal, and pain and burning is not normal. You & your doctor will just have to play detective till you find out what's causing it.
good luck!
