Hi I am now 30 and I have had 3 children all with c-sections during my last c-section 5 years ago I was sterilised, During the last 2 years I have had very irregular bleeding between periods and after sex sometimes with a bit of pain. 5 days ago me and my husband had sex and I had to ask him to stop as it was so painful this was followed by a small amount of bleeding however the pain is just getting worse and worse I have woken up crying Im in so much pain, I am very embarrased to go to our doctor as I havent had my smear test for 10 years now and know I should have with my family history but that just makes me not want to go more (sometimes things are easier if you don't know).... Will my pain stop on its own or do I really have to get this checked out.
