Hi, i am 18 and me and my partner have been having sex for about 8 months now and recently it has started to hurt as he has been entering me. why is this?? please help us!

Hi, Ive been sexually active with my boyfriend for about 6months now. When we started having sex, we could do it as often as we wanted but in the past 2months the pain is unbearable. When it goes in, it feels like a "break wall" is in the way and causes lots of pain and agony. During and after there is alot of burning sensation and stinging. I had thrush but now cleared but still no different. Cant physically cope any longer. Please help.

Hi, I am 18 years old ad have been sexually active for over 2 years now. I have been with my current boyfriend for almost a year now, and until recently having sex was not a problem for me, apart from knowing that i have a very tight vagina so we tend to use lubrication. However recently he has been away in another country for 3 months (i have not had sex in that space of time) and when we tried having sex the first couple of times when he came back i found i was in excruciating pain when he was trying to enter me (almost like a burning pain) and he found it very difficult to get inside me even though we had used lubrication. Also a couple months ago i found a little bump on the outside of my vagina (between my vagina and anus) which i got worried about so asked my mum to check it out and she said it just looked like a skin tag. However, since not having sex in the last 3 months i have noticed that the skin has seemed to grow and there is almost like an extra bit of skin surrounding the outside of my vaginal entrance. This extra skin also feels itchy at times. Do you think these two things are linked? And do you think i have anything to worry about? Please help.

Hello all! I have been having sex with my boyfriend of 4 years whom I lost my virginity to. I just turned 22 this year, but ever since about a year ago, sex has been a task. It hurts to get him inside, I'm fine during unless we are in the missionary position, then the pain happens and it feels like there's something poking my anus and my stomach feels bloated. I haven't had anal sex so I know that's not the problem, it's such a sharp pain, it seems to happen when there's air inside and I can't release it. I'm an athlete so I have excellent control of my pelvic floor and vaginal muscles, I still can't do anything. And it burns so badly afterward. We used to have sex 2-3 times a day…now it's about 1-2 a week if that. I don't know what's wrong, but it's preventing me from enjoying much at all.

Hi, I am still a virgin, the reason I am is simply because my clitorus always seems very sore all the time which is quite embarising for me. Also when I was in a relationship I was ready to have sex but it did not seem like my vagina was as my muscles were always tense and I could not have the penus to enter at all. I know it is suppose to hurt a little for the first time, but it seems impossible and the pain in unbearable with the mucsles then the hymen unwilling to break. I do not seem very normal and it is awkward for me when if I do meet another guy. I do not like going to the docters either at least until I know what is wrong with me.
Please help me!!!
Thanks.

last year , i went to my gp about not being able to find my vagina … i just thought it was a tiny hole . i thought something was wrong . but then i got an appointment at the hospital where i was supplied with dialtors… they looked way to big and i didnt think i would ever be able to get them inside me . but … i kept doing it and eventually after a few months i made my way up the sizes . now at 16 , i finally had sex with my boyfriend with only a little pain on entering me . but other than that i have now percieved myself as having a normal vagina !! and that the pain i expirenced and my "small hole" i though i had was all in my head . soo , in conclusion , to people who have the same expierences i did , things will get better :) x

Hi, I'm 20 & for the past year or so every time I have sex I can hardly bare the pain! I've been with my partner for 3 years and I feel guilty every time I tell him I don't want to have sex. He says I should see a doctor and although I do go to the doctor every couple of months as I'm on the pill I find it way too embarrassing. I also get heavy discharge sometimes but have pushed that aside blaming my heavy periods as a cause? If you can help that would be great. Cheers

Hi there i am 18 and have been having sex for about a year but most of the time my vagina gets very sore during and it swells up and makes it to painful to do it. i always need to pee after aswell but because of the swelling it is sore the only way to make it stop for a while is to use ice cubes can you help as it is a distress to me and my partener as i wont see a doctor.

Ive hit rock bottom. Ive been with my partner for three years next month, i have been sleeping with him for two years in october. Neither of us have STI's, been checked recently. I have always had extremely heavy periods and thus, a lot of pain before and during menstration. Since I had the implant inserted, May 2008, I started having very bad abdominal pain pretty much every few days. I have had internal and external ultrasounds to test for endometriosis and cysts, all clear! These pains developed to after sex, where i was getting a very deep pain in my vagina/cervix, and again abdominal pain. Now, i get them during sex and just last week my mum (a nurse) said she believed i had cystitis, i drank lots of water and took "cytosine"; this diagnosis due to pain on urination, itchiness and inflammation everywhere from my clitoris to my perineum, especially after sex. I'm going on holiday with my boyfriend in just over a week and im desperate to get it sorted. I can no longer use tampons. I don't have the implant anymore (removed feb 2009 after rushed to A & E, collapsed with agonising lower ab pains), contraceptive pill instead. we use condoms- gp suggested non-latex, pain improved quite a bit during so possibly allergic to latex. also suggested un-bleached tampons to reduce irritation during such heavy periods in my case, but now it is the pain on insertion that is unbearable, not the itchiness and discomfort when im on my period. Last saturday, I started my 7 day break from pill, had no sex or contact with boyfriend , had three day period from early hours of wednesday to friday just gone, started new packet of pills yesterday, cystitis seems to have cleared, little discomfort or inflammation on outside. Had sex last night, pain on edge of vagina, seems to be a small tear on lower side of vagina, almost perineum (cannot work out- we are extremely careful and gentle due to these problems over last year and a half), still pain after sex (lower abs) and im crying as i type this! I want to be okay for my holiday, ive tried everything, seen 4 GP's, two family planning nurses and two gynocologists over past year and a half-two years and NOTHING. Sorry about length of comment but im desperate. PLEASE HELP ME :'(
