I am that embarrased i wont go to my own doctor but feel you could help me. thankyou vry much.

I am 45, had 2 children but haven't had sex for several years - I just went off it - my husband is very understanding! I always had a problem when having smears (I have a tilted uterus), sometimes going from the nurse, to the GP, to being referred to consultants, who managed to get it done very easily just like that. When I last went for my smear though the GP couldn't do it, she said my vagina had tightened up so much through no sexual activity that she couldn't even insert the virginal sized speculum. She said she could refer me to the hospital but that they would put me under anaesthetic and would "barge" their way in to get the smear and it would leave me in great discomfort. We agreed that I would come off the smear programme - she said the risks of cervical cancer were reduced in me because I don't have sex ... however I'm still concerned. Does anyone else have this ? Don't let me be the only person who doesn't have sex and who can't have a smear.
Hi. I seem to have the same problem as you. I am 61 and active, but because i have such bad times having sex i dont want to do it anymore. I am fed up with trying to suffer the 'fumbling' and uncomfortable feeling with penetration - like you i feel 'closed up' and my last smear i have had to have twice as the nurse had such a problem trying to get a sample, i may end up having to go to the hospital to have it done. I was told after i had my son at 35 by section that i had a tilted womb so i could not have a natural birth, but all those years before when i used to have dreadful period pains and was told it was normal! Im 15 years older than you, so unless you want to have surgery to correct the condition - im afraid there doesnt seem much to help people like you and me. Best wishes.
Hiyah, Ive had a gastric bypass done and now have been left with loads of exsess sking and loads of stretch marks, What would you recomend for this??
I'm 16 years old and i cry all the time for no reason. I have random mood swings all the time and all the online tests i've taken say that i have a high chance of being depressed if i'm not already. However my mum and my doctor are convinced it's just my age. How do i get this confirmed without telling my parents or going to my doctor and am i even depressed at all or just overreacting?
