I am so very sorry if this happened to you.  Most women do not have issues with fertility after this.  However, emotionally, they often suffer in future relationships.  Sex can be changed for them, or the idea of it.  It is essential that you get some counseling to work through all the emotions you have.  And if you find you have trust issues, PTSD or sexual dysfunction in the future, be honest and proactive at solving that.  hugs

We have no idea the circumstances of the rape.  The ordinary answer would be no unless it was so violent something was damaged.  Have you seen a medical professional about this?
