ongoing vaginal pain when trying to have intercourse
I have had extreme pain during intercourse in that know it has been 1.5 years since my fiance and I have been able to have sex. We, of course, have tried other things to aid I guess mostly my fiance, but it is so bad that they sent me to UVA, at this time they can not figure it out. But i did have to stop going due to a loss of insurance but I have recently started to go back with another appt. with my new insurance.
I have pain as he first starts to enter, it is so painful we can not continue. When I clean myself I have tried to insert a finger to see if that hurts and it feels similiar to having a cut and you get salt in it. That is similiar to the pain. Like there is no skin on the wall lining. We have tried to force it, but gently, to no avail. I have been battleing this actually for a long time. I have had 2 children 17 yrs. ago, cecerian-both, have had negetaive PAP smears, and have had no PIDs or yeast infections (luckily).
I want more then anything to be able to be with fiance, it bothers me to no end. I was wandering if anyone knows about this? I still am awiating my appts again, it has been a very very long process. Is there a drug or something out there that can be used to stick myself or take to numb just that area so we can at least be able to have sex again. (you know-a temp. fix) I ask because my appt is not til late Dec. (go figure) and my wedding is in 1 week and I so want to have my wedding night with him. I need it as much as he does. Thank you--HELP NEEDED

Have you and your doctors considered BV? That sounds similar to pain I use to experience. For me antibiotics would help temporarily until I got it again but I have been able to treat it permanantly by avoiding carbonation. Are there any triggers that you have noticed, not necessarily carbonation? A book that was incrediably helpful for me was " The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health" by Elizabeth G. Stewart and Paula Spencer. Good luck.

What you are dealing with is treatable. Finding a doc who knows about things like this is the tough part. Be persistent and don't let any doc tell you that 'it's in your head' or that 'you just have to relax'.
Also, yahoo has a group forum for vulvar disorders. The women there may have some ideas on which direction to send you in.
