Vaginal Damage
My boyfriend and I have been having sex for 8 months. Everything was going fine except for a couple of months ago sex started becoming more and more painful for me...we started using lots of lubricant and it helped for a while but I can hardly have sex now. Every time we try I feel extreme pain/irritation and there are signs of redness. Also, the inside of my vagina on the top bone almost feels like it's bruised. I'm only 18, haven't had kids and don't know how this could have happened. Please let me know if you have any suggestions of what could help my problem. Thanks!
ok thank you so much! I looked up the pink water lubricant...do you use the water, oil, or silicone based one? thanks!
OMG! I have the exact same problem! I am 18 too, I have only been having sex for 7 months, I have used lube and have tried taking breaks from sex. I think I may be able to help you out a little bit, it may be the position you are doing it, how often you are doing it, and what kind of lube you are doing it with. My boyfriend and I tried KY jelly and it didnt work but then we started using this lube called "Pink Water" it is rated 5 stars out of 5 stars. We have also switched to having sex missionary style and trying to spread out how often we have sex. I hope this advice helps out and these suggestions work, if not I would reccommed a doctor. If you feel weird going to your regular doctor you can always go to planned parenthood. Best of luck!
