like he hitting my cervix or
something.....I still have a sex drive,
but it hurts so much.......Has anyone out

Yes, recently I went to see a doctor for
the same reason. She put me on some
hormone creams and a patch. Worked great

well, you shouldn't be experiencing
painful sex just because you entered
(peri)menopause. You should see a gyn
because you could have developed ovarian
cysts or uterine fibroids that often cause
pain during sex. You didn't say how old
you were and if your amenorrhea (absence
of period) was related to your age or if
it occurred just suddenly. You should
give us more info or simply see a doc!

You are the only other person i've heard
describe it that way. When I became
menopausal, I expected some dryness and
thought it would perhaps hurt at the
opening of or on the sides of my vagina.
But no, it felt like we were creating a
new hole in my cervix....Very painful.
I've started the patch but don't yet know
if it is helping. I have no remedy but
wanted you to know that you're not alone.
Good luck finding something that works!
