Q: painful intercourse-causing depression.

Hi, I am 22 years old and have been sexually active for about 4 years now. I have a 2 year old little boy. Until recently, I have never really had a problem with pain during sex. It has always hurt at the very beginning but it would end up just fine. I guess for about 2 months now, I have had VERY painful intercourse. It hurts at the beginning, it burns throughout, and then burns afterwards too. A month ago I did have a yeast infection and was treated for that and I thought I was okay. I had my wisdom teeth removed and was put on a antibiotic which I think brought the yeast infection back. I went to the doctor a few days ago and she didn't even check for a yeast infection, but did gave me the medicine for it. She put me on ANOTHER antiobiotic for a UTI, which she did a culture on and it turned out not to be one. So I'm on another antibiotic for nothing. I have been cramping and having pain in my lower back which is weird and just started after I got on the antiobiotic. Everytime I go to the doctor I tell them how painful sex is to me, and they just say "well it's the yeast infection or it's the UTI". I'm getting so discouraged and really sinking into a depression. I feel like I will never enjoy sex or that it will never be normal. I feel sorry for my boyfriend and feel like the worst person in the world because I don't want to have sex EVER. I don't know what to do anymore. I hate going back to the doctor all the time just to hear the same thing and them not even try to figure anything out.

I have another question. It has been 3 days since I took the yeast infection pill and I'm still itchy and uncomfortable. I took the pill around 5 pm on the day I got it. The morning AFTER, I vomited 3 times. Would the medicine have stayed in my system after that, or is it pretty much gone? I'm paranoid that it didn't work. I feel like I should be feeling better by now and I'm not. Sorry this was so long. I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I will never be okay.

Don't feel bad about yourself because you're in pain. Your boyfriend should understand and give you a break if it is so painful. If I were you I would go to another GYN for a 2nd opinion. I think some tests should be done. It may very well be a string of yeast infections, but I think if your doctor isn't showing more interest in your pain, it's time to go to another doctor. Again, make sure your bf knows the amount of pain sex causes you. There is nothing wrong with taking a break from intercourse until you are feeling better. If he cares for you he will understand and be patient. I hope you feel better soon. Keep us updated on your condition.
