Scar tissue from trauma

A number of years ago I had a traumatic straddle injury. The injury healed but recently my gynecologist discovered a couple bands of scar tissue inside my vagina, near the entrance. This explains a lot because I have always felt a lot of pain and discomfort inserting tampons or having a manual gyno exam.

I am a virgin and want to start having sex with my boyfriend, but I am concerned that my sex life will be hopeless from the get-go because of this scar tissue. Does anyone know of ways to get rid of the tissue or any natural therapies that will at least make it possible to have sex without extreme pain? Anyone have experience in scar tissue removal surgery? This issue makes me very sad and concerned I will never have an enjoyable sex life. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hello,
Apart from surgical removal of the scar tissue, a laser treatment can be used to vaporize the scarring. This can be tried before surgical removal of the scar tissue. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Most gynecologists do surgery, and the gynecologist could answer all these questions.  

There are special medical dilators that might help.
