Hello, my name is annie. I have had a lot of female problems ever since i was old enough to start a period. I am a mother of 3. I am happily married, and intercourse has been a big problem for me lately. I have excrutiating pelvic pain after intercourse. so bad that it literaly brings me to tears:( i have had a number of pap smears and biopsy after biopsy, everything comes back ok? I even had a d&c and laparoscope this past monday, my docter even took samples during those procedures, my results.....normal! i've been tested for stds also results...normal. i know this problem is not all in my head! I want and need all the advice i can get right now. I'm about to lose hope! I don't know where to go from here, something has to be causing this pain! any thoughts or advice would be kindly appreciated! thankyou so much for listening. annie

Welcome!


Have you been to any other doctors?

Hiya Hun

Sorry to hear you are having a bad time.

I too have that pain but I also have it during and sometimes for a couple of days afterwards.

I had a laparoscopy in June with my gynie, and he found that I have endometriosis and pelvic congestion. Both of these contribute to pain during and/or after sex. He also told me that I had a retroverted or tilted uterus...which he put back in place.

Please dont put up with it.....you need to seek a second opinion. Maybe find a gynie that specialises in endo and pelvic pain syndrome.
