Have you seen a gynecologist? Painful sex sometimes goes along with Endometriosis which the only way to diagnose is through lap surgery. Do you have heavy periods? Painful periods?
For the past four years I have painful and uncomfortable sex. With no decrease in the sharp/burning pain, I went to two separate doctors to test for STDs and all came up negative, along with yeast infection treatments. Furthermore, I also stopped birth control thinking this may have started it all. Now I feel I have tried it all, and still no cure.
Iv been having issues when i have sex and notice that it is sometimes very painful. this has been happening for about 10 months now, it started happening when i was pregnant, so i never did anything about it because i figured it was cause i was pregnant. but it still happens, and now i notice sometimes it burns when i pee. also iv noticed that i have had issues with not feeling good and also being tired alot. im not sure what these are sympoms of..
have you talked to your gyn about this? The very painful periods and nasuea can sometimes be endometriosis.
I was just diagnose with endometriosis and painful sex is one of my symptoms. Not sure about the severe cramping though...defiantly should be looked into.
I've been Bleeding during sex. I don't have sex very often, maybe about twice a month. I"m in a monogamous relationship and we use condoms. I've been tested for STD's and all results have come back negative.
Hi,
Although pain is the predominant feature of endometriosis, heavy periods and excessive blood loss during menses and infertility can be the other presentation. Stage 2 or 3 endometriosis will require aggressive treatment. Consult your gynaecologist.
Hope this helps.
I completely agree with Babygurly22. I'm not sure about the birth control but I do know cysts and endo can be a cause. I have both..I have 2 cysts, one on each ovary and have endo for awhile now and let me tell you...sex sometimes can be so painful that I'm laying there all curled up and crying. If I were you I'd be seeking a 2nd opinion. Sounds like this dr is just wanting to ignore the problem instead of figuring out what's wrong and fixing it.
I am lucky that right durin and right after my period sex is not as painful but all the rest of the time sex is so painful during and mostly after. My boyfriends falls asleep and I am left by myself for almost an hour in the bath tub just crippled with pain. It's horrible to have this at such a young age.. I'm 25 but thankful I found. A man that really understands. I told him about everything when we first started datin and I told him if he couldn't handle it he could leave .
Symptoms of endometriosis include heavy and painful periods, painful intercourse, infertility, painful urination, and painful bowel movements during menstrual periods. Consider gynecologic consultation. Consider initial workup with transvaginal pelvic ultrasound and further workup with MRI pelvis if clinically warranted.
Ok so for that past few years I have had this pain, and its really bad during intercourse and i've been to the Dr a million times and still no result. I also have the pain without intercourse, and its not in the vaginal area I've noticed...I think its in my rectum, its along the wall of my vagina and rectum, when his penis hits that wall its very painful, like i've been in tears before.
However, in the last few years they have been extremely painful, so much so that I have even thrown-up! They are so unbearable that they wake me up during my sleep and on the morning of my first day I occasional have no option but to take the morning off work until the pain killers kick in. My lower back and stomach and thighs are incredibly tender during these days. I would say that my periods are fairly normal/moderate and not heavy and I am regular/5 days.
- dysmenorrhea - Painful, sometimes disabling menstrual cramps; pain may get worse over time (progressive pain)
- Chronic pelvic pain - typically accompanied by lower back pain and/or abdominal pain, painful sex , painful bowel movements
- Nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
- dysuria - Urinary urgency, frequency, and sometimes painful voiding
- Infertility and subfertility. Endometriosis may lead to fallopian tube obstruction.
Some women may also suffer mood swings and fatigue.
So, I went to my GYN when my twins were a little over a year and told her my symptoms (painful sex and painful periods). She told me she thought I had endometriosis and that I should go on BCP, which I did. Surprisingly, it helped me. However, after a few months, the pain started to come back. I was discouraged thinking that it wasn't endo because the BCP didn't help, so I just decided to deal with the pain.
Im a 20 year old female, no kids, and get these same symptoms of vomiting, dizziness, and severe cramping starting during sex and gets more intense after sex. Im not sure when it started happening but it happens a few times a month, and seems like its getting worse, I dont know whats been going on but i know im not pregnant. Might it be a tilted uterous, or cysts? HELP!!
I was diagnosed with endometriosis over a year ago. I've had the surgery and been put on hormone tablets and been kept on cerazette. With cerazette I went a year with no periods but recently I've been having periods every week and they last about 3 to 4 days. They always start on a Sunday and the blood is extremely black and wet looking. It also still hurts during sex. I'm not too sure what to do as the specialist said they got rid of all the endometriosis.
ve also been getting quite constipated during periods, and this is extremely painful. When defecating, I feel sharp shooting pains which can actually cause me to scream out or cry. This only ever happens during my period, so I think it may be related, but I'm not sure why this would happen. Any ideas?
I had been to the STD clinic before we had sex, due to history of unprotected sex with 1 partner (tests negative) and wife had no previous partners. I attended clinic again (again urine and swabs negative) and we both had treatment (me- doxycycline, wife- cipro and metronidazole) and things settled down. Wife's periods again became heavy and painful, and she reattended doctor who took hv swabs (negative for chlamydia).
after the lap i found that sex isnt as painful but i have no sensation there during sex, despite my sex drive starting to return.
My Gp has told me it could be something psychological which i question as it has been so long and i am the one initiating it and know that it doesnt hurt, however she also said it could be that during my surgery they accidentally cut nerves which is apparently quite common.
