Literal pain in butt

I have pain in my butt during vaginal sex and when I open my vagina (just taking my hands to open it) I feel the same pain in my butt. There are no bumps on my butt and I really wish I knew what was causing this. I had an extremely heavy cycle this month which just ended. It was the heaviest cycle I've had in years. What could be causing this? I last had my yearly exam a year ago and there was no problems. My brother has stage 4 colon cancer so I don't know if this is something I should wait on for my visit the end of the month or if I should go to the ER and try to get some answers.

If your brother has colon cancer and with the symptoms you are saying I would talk to your doctor to schedule a colonscopy, that way you can rule out any cancer, polyps etc. It is possible that you could have Rectovaginal endo as it causes vaginal and rectal pain. Have you ever had an ultrasound?

look up piriformis syndrome and levator spasms...pelvic floor dysfunction ... it could be taht...it's hard to say but it sounds like the muscles are in spasm which sex definitely causes for me...and has for over 20 years...but if in doubt definitely get in to see your Dr. Maybe see if your dr. could get you in sooner if they have a cancellation...you might try putting some heat on the backside and elevating your legs so the knees are higher then the hips as this forces the pelvic floor muscles to relax...see if that helps...but if you are to ridden with worry...put your mind at ease and do what you need to do...let us know!
