Do you get aroused? Is your husband into foreplay? It makes more of a difference than ever 35+

My sympathy! Good luck. I hope it goes well. I've had two C-sections, and my doctor says my vagina looks fine, normal, healthy, etc.


huh? the pain could be caused by injured nerves or muscle spams. how your vagina (and vulva!) look are not necessarily part of the diagnosis.

Oh, no. I’d get a second opinion. We can’t have been the first two women to go through this.

go to another doctor, a pelvic floor specialist.

also, sex can be more than penetration - maybe take that off the menu for now?

are you still breastfeeding? I had a friend who had terrible pelvic pain until she weaned.

My doctor says that physically, everything looks fine. She's recommended special lubes, etc. That's what I meant by "creams, pills, this that and the other."

I HAVE done everything my doctor recommended.

I'm 39 and sex has felt awful after both my babies were born. I've done my best to just...get through it. I've tried creams, pills, this that and the other. The last few times, I've basically just let it happen even though it is extremely painful. But last night it hurt so bad I just couldn't let it happen.
