i also have the same issue regrding painful intercourse, it is as if he is bumping into something that is swollen and painful inside me, that at times i am forced to stop him in the middle of doing it since the pain is unbearable.

but i don't have any symptoms like vaginal discharge and frequent urination.

i dont have an answer yet in my issue regarding painful intercourse, but what i know is that if you have this feeling of burning and itching then aferwards a feeling of frequent urination. that is painful and of just small amounts, which is termed as frequency urgency dysuria, there is a possible that you have URINARY TRACT INFECTION, but to be sure you have to go and check for your doctor, usually it is treated with antibiotics, in the meantime take plenty of fluids.

and since you are also feeling a bump inside you, the more reason you should see your doctor.

too bad for me, im out of town and i also don't know what to do with my painful intercourse, but i hope, i said something that somehow helped you out.

Thanks, I think ur probably the only one that I could have related to, all ther other answers I got were mostly people yelling at me. Which, I know what I did was wrong, but since I am a teenager, I wont listen. One other thing. The burning urination and the itching has gone down meaning that its mostly not even there anymore. As of RIGHT NOW I just have a problem with frequent urination, weird discharge, and that bump inside me. But now that I think about it, I know that ever since I was in 6th grade I always kept it in. I never went to the bathroom at all until I got home. But would that be because of that? I even went to the doctors and they said that there was nothing wrong. Of course, at tht time I didnt tell them I was sexually active. But what do you think?

BTW- sorry to hear about your issue

as far as i know some of the causes of urinary tract infection or UTI is keeping your bladder full and not going to the bathroom as soon as possible. women's urethra or the passageway of urine in women are shorter which predisposes women to UTI, also the location of the vagina being near to the anus can also be the cause. hygiene is also important, be sure to practice safe sex.

i also heard that UTI at first has this burning and itchy feeling (though there are some STDs that also has that symptoms) then when the bacteria has already gone higher the burning dissapears.

do you have only one partner? have you heard of other STD symptoms?

btw, how old are you? i will not yell at you just because you had sex as a teenager, it already happened, i don't think it will still help to yell at people who had already done it, right? i think what's better is educating younger girls about that issue, though i don't encourage it, but i think you are already in the right state of mind to decide for your own, but again, think wisely, okay!

Yes, I only have one partner and I've heard of other STD symptoms. Another person I've talked to said something of Gonarhhea (sry about the spelling) but the bump isn't growing anymore and plus like I said b4, the itching and the burning is mostly gone. Im 17 yrs old and I will be 18 in August and yes, though I did do wrong, I dont think yelling would help in my case =] I already talked to my boyfriend about it and hes worried that I might be pregnant. Like I said b4 though, I dont have ANY of the symptoms and plus its been almost a month since my period so my period should be around the 1st plus or minus 5 days and i've started getting cramps due to that fact. We've agreed not to do it anymore due to that bump and also we are trying to practice abstinence once again (though im not sure what it is called after you already did it.) We are serious about our relationship (1 yr and 1 week so far) and since we did have sex I know we wont be leaving each other sooner or later. (Since we arent the type to just have sex and break up very easily like that meaning that we dont have a petty high school realtionship.) Of course, there are other reasons why we are together and we do have a healthy relationship, just thought I might add that.

Please, Please Please don't count on stopping when he reaches climax as a form of birth control. It will NOT stop pregnancy from happening.

if you miss your period, try getting a pregnancy kit... one month of missing a period i think is a reason to go and get one...

Well, there is still time, I know that since its around the 1st. But I will make sure that when and if (God forbid) I do miss my period, then I will go ahead and get a pregnancy kit.

BTW, if you dont mind me asking, what is your age? and do u have a medical profession? because im baffled by the amount of info u know about this. =]

im 24 and i am a licensed physiotherapist... though yes im an allied medical practitioner, there are some issues that you really can't open up with people around, (you know... not everybody are open to some issues) and i am also unaware of some stuff, (well you really can't get everything from the book, right?) that's why is signed up here.

actually it all started when i missed my period after i finished my pack of Diane, and i searched the net and i was able to get some answers here...

now im hooked! lol!

besides, i like the people around here... unlike other forums, where people are rude...

bakin_april is right...

there are lots of unwanted pregnany because of withdrawal method.

i earned my knowledge from age

yes the withdrawal method isnt a very good technique to prevent pregnancy which is why my bf and I talked it out and are now going to try to practice abstinence... or whatever its called since we arent virgins anymore.

Also its true, the people here are a lot nicer then any other forum or any other website. The people here are more caring and understanding and I like that.

I'm a new user of this website,and i found it very interesting and usefull,Im 36 yrs old a nurse in the middle east and i guess using condoms combined with rhythm method is the the most effective way of birth control,being aware that you have a normal menstrual flow every month, but if contraceptive pills is more convinient for you choose THE PILL MICROGYNON by Wyeth it has lesser side effects and have no toxic effect on the fetus if your unaware that your pregnant.I strongly agree that visiting a gynecologist is a must twice a year to lessen anxiety, remember that doctors have their medical code of ethics of taking care of personal issues of their patients so there's no reason to be ashame of your condition.
