painfull sex
im 22 years old and ive been with the same man for 4 years. when we have sex its extreamly painfull for me, to the point where we cant continue, most of the time we cant even barely get started. My periods are also horribly painful, i cant get out of bed for two days!!! ive already had the surgery for endodemetriosis, and they found none. i just dont know what it could be, the doctors ive been going to now want to blame it on the fact that its in my head because they cant find anything, but its not in my head, this pain is very real and has been for three years now. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

One thing you might want to check is vulvadynia ( check it out on the web). It is inflamation and often a painful condition of the vulva ( all the parts of the vagina, clitoris etc) and it is hard to diagnose. I would suggest going to another doctor for a second opinion and I would urge you to go to a women's health specialist who has a lot of experience with women's sexual health. Vulvadynia means painful vulva- and that could come from a number of causes--While I cannot rule a psychological response out right now- I do know that there have been advances in women's medical practice and they have found physical reasons for women whose previous doctors have labeled the pain psychological when it was not. You need to go to an expert in this area to get a better idea of what you are dealing with. In the meantime, do a little research yourself on the web under Vulvadynia and Dyspeurunia -this might give you an idea of the range of possibilities. Pepper Schwartz, PhD.
you name it i have tried it. im even on birth control to make the pain less severe. my biggest issue is the painful sex, its so frustating for both myself and my partner. its just taken such a toll on me emotionally and physically. and though my boyfriend wont say it bothers him that we cant have sex i know it does, hes so patient and supportive, at this point im scared for my health and my relationship. the doctors have no answers for me
Have you tried various herbal remedies for the painful periods along with dietary supplements?
