Is it clitorodynia??!


Question: Since having my daughter, I have not been able to enjoy sex as normal. I cannot have external stimulation for more than 30 seconds due to pain which just appears and makes me feel like I am being stabbed.. I also have pain when having internal sex. Most of the time it can feel like 'it' is bumping into something and can be rather sore. I do not have any STDs and my daughter will be 3 this year. My sexual desire is the same, however there are times when I won't consider doing anything about it because I know what will happen, and when we do, there a lots of time when it has to be cut short because I just cannot take any more..
Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong?? I really am at the end of my tether. It is causing real problems between my partner and I, and not to mention HUGE sexual frustration!!!

Without being too gross, did you have any complications with the birth? I know a couple of my friends who, after having stitches, were told that there was a (very small) risk that when the skin healed it would also heal bits that weren't really supposed to heal together - I know, weird! They were fine, but I think if this can happen then maybe this is what happened to you?

But it is obviously something that happened during pregnancy or the birth if it only started happening after you had your daughter. And if it has been 3 years it must be something that your body can't cure itself. It may be something really easy to fix/correct - you could have your sex life back within weeks - go to your gyno/doctor and ask for their advice. Or you could even ask your midwife/health visitor as they are used to dealing with mother's questions post birth as well as baby question.

Good luck!

You need to go see your GYNO about this. You could have an infection that you are unaware of, and I do NOT mean an STD. There are other types of infections women can get.

never heard of that before

Visity the Gyno and see whats wrong, it could be something bad.

you need to see your gp get it sorted it could be somthing simple take your partner if you are worried about going alone
