I've been having sex for about 4 months now and it's been great. The last two times i did though it really hurt..not becuase there wasn't enough lube or anything but it felt like really painful afterwards..what could be the cause of this? Has anyone experienced this?
Vikki27 answered Friday October 13 2006, 5:39 pm: I have the same problem. My partner and I have been together 3 and a half years now and been sleeping together around 3 years. Over the last year, sex has become very painful, to the point we can't really do it any more.
I'm going to the doctor about this next week and I would recommend you do the same. Painful sex can be a symptom of muscular tightening (can be the result of a condition called Vaginismus) or an infection and any number of other things so it is always worth checking. When it comes to that area of your body, you can never be too careful.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to request a smear test. This way, the doctor or a gynaecologist can ensure there's nothing going wrong 'down there' and put your mind at ease. You could also discuss the pain issue to see if there is anything further that can be done. In some cases, referral to a sexual therapist can be helpful, particularly in cases where there is muscular tightening, as this can be a psychological problem, rather than physiological.
