painful intercorse
Im 21 years old, i've been with the same partner for over a year and everything was ok until i started to expirience pain during intercorse about 7 months ago. It hurts the most when the penis is inserted, as if i was not lubricated enaugh although that is not the case. After the penis is inside it doesn't hurt as much but I'm still very sensitive. After intercorse my vagina is usually swollen and sore. When i went to the gyno first 2 times he diagnosed me with a yeast infection, next time i went the doctor said that nothing is wrong, so i went to get all the std test done they all came out negative. i never had this problem before and im very worried
Advice from someone that runs a sex shop, ky isnt the best to use. maybe swap. KY is used for surgical reasons, its what they use when they do a smear or other justs as it lubricates for only a short time, liquid satin or silk is the bees knees. it costs a little more than KY but you dont need as much because i find when demoing toys KY tends to clump up after a while where the silk doesnt! maybe its making your situation worse :S .
I know the feeling, the doctor wont help me, all i can suggest is visit your local gum as they have so much more information than a doctor does, believe me, even if it isnt an infection they can suggest other problems!
It could be you have a slight allergy to his sperm!! Suggestion, get him to shoot his load on your skin, somewhere visable. if you go red and patchy then you have a slight allergy. I get that sometimes and found if i have a bath after sex, then use biofem it stopped the problem. I also take cranberry tablets regularly now and use candida tablets when i get an infection.
Hope this is useful and i can completely understand how frustrating it is, you just wanna get on with it!! lols

well thats the thing i dont have any infections now, i dont use condoms so i dont think thats the case and i use the ky jelly which is hypoallergenic. I mean what could it be it? i paid numerous visits to a couple of doctors and they se no irregular symptoms. It is very frustrating that i dont know what it is.
Well the only thing that i can think of is that maybe you are allergic to condoms which is latex or if you use any type of lubricants which you could possible be allergic to as well. If you have sex alot to your vagina will might be a bit sore until lubricated. If it like that though i definatly would go back to the ob.
Hey,
Im 24 and have yeast infections regularly. they can be treated naturally with herbs and bio yoghurt. Just look for the symptoms of curd, cottage cheese like discharge and feeling very dry but it shouldnt make you feel sore during intercourse as it tends to be sore all the time.
Ive been researching all sorts of stuff for a while for my own issues and came across and natural reaction that the vagina can experience. its called dyspareunia. I dont think its necessarily serious or anything to worry about as its treat able.

see here.
In the meanwhile, all i can suggest is to wear a condom as it may help with the fricion so to speak! and a decent lube like liquid satin or liquid silk with has moisturising agents. I find these useful for myself and reduce the friction and my partner is quite girthy, and since using these has reduced my infections.
Oh and for immediate pain relief which i use on occassions is BIOFEM active gel. I always carry a tube and find it extremely useful. I hope this helps

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
