Have IUD, tender nipples, painful sex, on hypothyroid treatment Posted: 02-06-08 01:18am
Subject basically said it all but let me
explain. Last year the doctor discovered
that I am a "profound" case of
hypothyroidism. I weighed a whole 135 lbs
(after having 1 child at age 20) and my
level was 360 (very low). I am now at 100
mg of Levothyroid and I am almost at the
right level, pending next testing. In
2005 I had the Mirena IUD inserted, and I
have had no periods, everything has been
great. I noticed at the end of last week
my nipples are always hard and very sore
to the touch, including in my bra. What's
odd is the urge for them to be nursed or
suckled, I've only experienced this
sensation when I was breast feeding my
son. Sunday my husband and I began
intercourse and it was very painful, which
is NOT normal. I was able to finish but
after I was doubled over in pain. Sort of
like a pressure feeling kind of gassy but
also sharper pains in my upper butt/back
area. Tonight we tried again to have
intercourse and before we got anywhere I
just couldn't handle the pain. I am very
worried. My medical coverage will be on
hold for a couple of months because I am
changing employers, does this send up any
red flags for any professionals out there?
I have other underlying issues, but I
don't think they could in any way affect
this. Such as IBS, chronic headaches
partially brought on originally by
shingles. Please give me some feedback!
And thank you for your time!

Have you been close to your menstrual
period when you were experiencing painful
intercourse and tender nipples?
