Painful sex....please help!!!
| Thu, 09-30-2004 - 7:23am |
Hi!!! I've been married for about six months now and the sex has been painful for most of it. Its not a vaginal pain but its a pain in the lower abdomen. I visited my gynac and he did a bunch of tests and said it was vaginitis. He put me on some medication and I had relief only for a few days and now its been two months and the pain is still there. I really am going nuts coz I love making love to my husband. I dont have any insurance and still paying off my previous bill, so I wont be visiting the doc for a while. Someone PLEASE HELP!!! Any idea as to what could be wrong. There seems to be no inflamation anywhere...I am clueless and sad. Thanks!!!

If it's a pain in your lower abdomen, I'm surprised that he thought it was vaginitis, unless you are having vaginal symptoms. He didn't do an ultrasound or anything like that to make sure that everything is of normal shape, size, and position? There's just so many things that it could be, what you've described doesn't point to anything in particular yet.
For your next appointment, when you can afford it, make sure you write down where it hurts, how it hurts, when it hurts, and anything you can find that makes it better or worse in as much detail as you can.
I'm sorry I don't have a good answer for you! But trust me...painful sex and I aren't strangers, and I know how tough it is to deal with, on a physical and psychological level. Good luck!
