left side of vagina hurts during sex.

[secretonetwo]

so ive been with this kid for 2 years and about 2 weeks ago after having sex the left side of my vagina hurt. It only hurts when he puts his penis inside of me. My Question is why would this occur now and continue to occur. would it be an std ?
also i had a UTI about 3 weeks ago too.
please help if possible!

Just had radical hysterectomy for the same left side vaginal/pelvic pain that also radiated up left abdominal area even with belly button on left side. (Very painful in crease of left leg!!) Unbearable after sex or during my period. After sex landed me in ER for them to say had mass (cyst) blocking my vagina on left side, which popped before I made it to my regular doctor and pus came out my vagina (this occurred almost always after having sex) Went to doctors after doctors (test after test all came back normal) suffering for 7 years till finally decided to have hysterectomy due to cyst on ovary. While in there doctor had to remove my cervix which was oozing with infection and lesions. Guess where??? On my LEFT SIDE!! You will have to MAKE your doctor listen!! None of mine would. Even after telling them my mother died of cervical cancer at age of 36, (I’m now 40) still I was not checked good enough to catch this. I go back April 1 for my 1st check up and to get results if it was precancerous or cancerous. I hope this helps someone. I know I looked on all these threads when suffering and couldn’t find my exact symptoms. I ran no fever or anything with this. It starts with lesions on your cervix which are uncomfortable during sex, then when friction rubs it it gets infected and cyst form. This CAN turn cancerous so do NOT play!!MAKE your doctor listen to you!!

Hello,
Tenderness during intercourse is called dyspareunia and there are some possibilities which need to be evaluated in your case. Since you had a UTI recently so a lower urinary tract infection can also cause dyspareunia. Other than that, pain during the initial stages of penetration is due to UTI and vaginal infection or vaginitis, a tight vaginal wall, sores at the mouth of vagina or vestibulitis, vulvodynia or a dry vagina (frictional injury), thrush or fungal infection. Pain on deep penetration is due to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, irritable bowel syndrome, pelvic tumors, cervical and uterine infections and tumors. Depending on the site of pain during penetration, diagnosis can be made.

It is very difficult to pinpoint one diagnosis without clinical examination and cervix swabs or blood tests. So I feel that you should consult your gynecologist for a complete evaluation as treatment will depend on the diagnosis.
