Loves hurts, so does sex...?!


Question: Alright so sex hurts for me. Ive been sexually active for 2 1/2 years, and in that time, Ive had a lot of sex. For the past probably 3 months it has hurt, not too bad. However the last week its hurt really bad. The pain is like a b u r n . Its only on the surface of the opening, not inside at all. Ive only been with one guy, and hes only been with 1 other girl, and I know theres no way its an STD. We always do foreplay, Im always very ready for sex, and we usually use lube (when its needed) Weve done a lot of different positions, angles, and everything else, but it still hurts. help?

I have exactly the same thing hun, I have been to countless doctors and none of them can not tell me what is wrong with me. It is not an STI, not thrush not infection and I have absolutely no idea what causes this pain during and after sex. I also experience the burning sensation but also swelling and a throbbing pain on the outside that lasts for hours after.
Sometimes a barrier cream like lucas pawpaw ointment or vasaline is good to protect the sensitive area from the rubbing. Sometimes I use a soothing cream after sex like vagasil cream that has been in the fridge.
I have heard having an ultra sensitivity to the bacteria that causes thrush can be the problem, even though there may not be enough to cause full on thrush that bacteria can still live in small amounts in the vagina and if you are sensitive to this it can cause constant irritation. To avoid this I use soap free washes down there instead of normal soap, wear only cotton underwear and try and stay away from carbs and sugars in my diet, I have actually found this has helped a little bit.
I have also heard terms such as 'vulvodyniaI' and 'vaginismus' but they all seem vague and there is not much info on them and my doctors certainly dont know much about it either. I have tried everything under the sun and I will be watching this space to see if anyone else can suggest something.

Go see a doctor..maybe you're infected or something..

GO TO THE GYNO! My mother was 25 ans died of cervical cancer. An STD that men are not affected by and can live their whole life not knowing about. Go get a pap smear.

Ya i really don't know what the problem could be but u should see a Doctor cause he will most definitely give u the answer to ur question....do it just for ur health

my gf had that. was told it was sensitive skin. stopped sex for a bit - used vaseline as a protective barrier to reduce irritation and allow the skin to heal and it cleared up.

apparently you can get eczema and dermatitis etc. on the skin at the entrance to the vagina just like any other skin on your body but it's not so visible cos of the colour of the skin.

Finding the cause is a different matter......trial and error really.

You been taking anti-biotics? It's thrush so........go to a pharmacy and get cream. antibiotics can cause thrush outbreaks. If you have sex with no condom your bf needs to be treated too even if he has no symptoms.

definately make sure that you're not infected- better safe than sorry!
also irritations from washing powders, fabrics and temperature can have an effect too.
best see your gp on this one!

you could be haing sex to often

Better to consult a doctor than you treat yourself. It may be due to vaginal spasm, get it confirmed.

I know it's not fun, but if that has been going on for three months and it's getting worse, you should really see your doctor.

No question. You really are the only person who is going to look after you, and you should never ignore signs something is wrong.

I've got to get a PAP test... that's bad enough, but I know of someone my age having had cervical cancer, so I know I have no excuses, but I have to find a female doctor because I don't think males quite understand something they don't have, and I say this from experience.

Something else... try giving 'it' a break for a week or two. Give yourself a break. If that does nothing (ie. allow an aggravated injury to heal), you go to the doctor straight away, okay?

give sex a break for a while and go see the doctor
asap

You may have a yeast infection brought on by the amoxicilin you are taking. It is not uncommon for women to get yeast infections from antibiotics. She your doctor to make sure this is your problem.

I would recommend a gyn appt too. It is worth mentioning to the DR your history and that you are on antibiotics too.

I know I had a similar issue at one time, basically I was having sex too much :P (same person - so no comments please!) good luck

it means.. u SHOULDN'T DONE IT in the first place.. i told ya u guys will regret it..!!
