Painful sex

[jazzy163]

im only 20 but for as long as I can remember I have had painful sex for a long time everything else down there was normal but lately I have been having really bad low pelvis pain mainly on the left side but sometimes on the right I have also been experiencing ance and low sex drive and heavy periods. Up until this month my periods have been normal but this month I skipped my period ( no way I could be pregnant)

I know it's a long shot but does anybody else have symptoms like this and know what is going on

Thank you

I suffer from those symptoms as well.  I was on bc for at least 15 yrs & then quit it about 4 yrs ago to ttc and that's when I started to realize I had some issues b/c the pain really showed up then & just got worse the longer I was off of the bc. I finally had exploratory surgery almost a year ago to find out what was wrong and try to treat the issue to help with the pain. Ended up having stage 3 endo, ovarian cysts (pcos), as well as uterine fibroids/cysts. They used a laser on the endo that they could, removed the ovarian cysts & did a d&c. It has helped some, mostly with the pain during sex, but as much pain as it was causing some improvement is better than none. Since I'm ttc there isn't any treatment I can take long term and I still suffer from all of these issues and they are likely the reason I am having so much difficulty conceiving.

It's unlikely that you have all these issues, but you definitely have something going on & need to talk to your doctor. Any help is better than just dealing with it and letting it get worse.

There are number of things that can cause these symptoms.

Your symptoms need investigating.  

Make an urgent appointment to see your doctor.
