so i've posted this in other sections but
it's still going on and i'm not quite sure
where else to turn... for the past 6 weeks
or so i've been experiencing very painful
intercourse, like a burning sensation
inside. i was treated for a UTI around
this time, and all this started upon
resuming sexual activity after the
infection was supposedly gone. i'm not
sure if it never went away and if that
could be causing this problem but i think
if that were the case i'd be having other
symptoms? it has nothing to do with not
being lubricated/excited enough, and it
can't be an STI because i'm in a
monogamous relationship and neither of us
have ever been with anyone else. the pain
gets worse as intercourse progresses.
although i am sometimes able to reach
orgasm through clitoral stimulation while
having intercourse, the pain gets
unbearable after a few minutes and i'm
forced to stop. the pain is most intense
during intercourse, but also occurs when
he fingers me. i don't have any other
noticeable symptoms... although i have
heard that it's possible to have UTI's
without having any symptoms. is it
possible that the infection never went
away and could that be causing this pain?

ive had many many utis all with symptoms
occurring only during urination never
sex.
sounds to me like you just need to use
some lubrication and see if it helps even
if you think your wet enough it sounds
like you not

I would definitely get that checked out by
your doctor. Sex should not burn. I
know I had burning painful intercourse
before, and it turned out I had a yeast
infection. There are OTC tests and
treatments if thats the case

Perhaps the antibiotics caused a yeast
infection? That is pretty likely

that's what i thought too except that I
have no other symptoms. But I tried
treating for a yeast infection anyway a
couple weeks ago so I guess that wasn't
the case since this is still going on.
Thanks for your responses.... I guess I'm
just gonna have to get to a doctor.. :-\

got the same issue: painul sexual intercourse Posted: 02-27-08 21:30pm
i got the same problem. for the past few
days im having painful intercourse, as if
there is something inside me that he is
bumpin into that really hurts. we are out
of town and i cant visit my gynecologist,
have you heard of a swollen bartolin's
gland?
im trying to bear the pain for us not to
stop because i don't to spoil our
vacation, but it really hurts. do you have
any advise for the meantime that i can't
see a doctor? or something that i can do
to compensate.
thanks!

I've never heard of a swollen bartolin's
gland but I just looked it up. From what
I've found they usually develop on the
lips of the labia, and not inside the
vagina. They are also painless, unless
they become infected. If it feels like
he's hitting something inside, my guess
would be that it's probably not that, but
again, I'm not familiar with it so I could
be wrong.
What you're describing sounds different
than what I had, mine was more like a
burning. Usually for me when it feels like
he's bumping into something it's my
cervix. Your cervix changes positions at
different times throughout your cycle, and
can make sex very painful if it's low and
he bumps into it. I've found that certain
positions are just painful at certain
times. If he is hitting your cervix, this
is usually felt as a sudden, sharp,
stabbing pain like he is jabbing
something, and can also cause stomach
pains during and after sex, sometimes even
for a day or 2 after. And if he's
consistently hitting it, he could bruise
it and cause sex to continue to be
painful. Have you tried different
positions, going slower, and having him
not go as deep? You should talk to him,
I'm sure he cares about you and doesn't
want to hurt you. If he knows what you're
feeling then he can try different things
to try to make it not hurt, and who knows,
together you just might find something
that works. But if it really hurts, ask
him to stop, I'm sure he'd understand.
Plus if there is something wrong you could
just be making it worse by bearing the
pain. If you've tried changing positions,
going slower, and having him not go as
deep, and if it doesn't feel like normal
bumping-the-cervix type pains, you should
definitely get it checked out. Good luck!

thanks... i was also thinking about that
cervix type pain, because it is a sharp
and stabbing pain as you were describing.
i've heard of that, but i didn't know that
it is this painful, because i haven't felt
it before with my exs... (maybe they
weren't able to reach that spot, LOL!
thanks a lot, i appreciate it.

Is your bf circumcised? Maybe his giving
you an yeast infection. He may need to be
checked out too.

a yeast infection would cause burning and
itching, not a sharp stabbing pain inside

Yeast infections do cause external itching
and irritation, but can make sex painful
as well. Also, you should not treat a
yeast infection until a doctor confirms
you have it, because it might be something
else-- you can get rid of the symptoms but
still have a different problem, like
chlamydia or something. I had a yeast
infection that made sex very painful,
burning near my cervix and all over
inside, now that its gone its better.

you can get OTC suppositories to treat a
yeast infection but you should still see
your doctor for it if you've never had one
before. but from what you're describing it
doesn't sound like a yeast infection
