Pelvic Pain and Bleeding during Sex

[Gulabo]

For about a year now, I began bleeding whenever I have sex.  Now it doesn't happen everytime, but most of the time it does.  It also happens if I pleasure myself.  This bleeding is normally accompanied with slight to extreme pelvic pain, often focused on the lower left quadrant/abdomen region.  A few times I have had to make my partner stop because it hurt so bad, and it would continue to be tender and hurting a few days afterwards.  I can feel the lumps that are swollen and tender in my left abdomen with my fingers if I lay on my back, or even standing up.

I have also experienced other strange instances of bleeding.
For instance when I was 15, I had a period that lasted almost a year where I was spotting between every regular period.  I went on the pill on and off since then to regulate it which seemed to help.  I have been off the pill for almost a year now and that is when I started noticing this other pain and bleeding.  I don't get my period regularly, very infrequently actually, and with little or no cramping.

Lastly, I noticed some differences when using a tampon.  Before, it would go in straight, but now it seems to be curving off somewhere to the left, or to some other area instead of straight.  It feels strange when I put it in like that, like something is off-center.

Either way, all of this bleeding and pain makes me avoid sex at all costs, which I guess is a good thing.  Most the time I just cross my fingers and hope for the best, but what is going on!?
