My gyno told me that if in 6 months if still hurt at the beginning of intercourse, he'd have to make a small incision. I don't hurt the whole time during sex. Only during insertion and a couple thrusts to minutes afterwards. I just started having sex. Where and what is he talking about? I know we don't have a lubrication problem. I deffinatley produce plenty of that. Plus, I was wonderin' if it could be that I'm made small. I'm 19 years old and I'm only 4'10.2. I was recently in the hospital 'cause I was dehydrated and had the flu. The nurse tried sticking me with a needle that wouldn't fit in my vein. So, she had to restick me in the other arm with a smaller needle, that went in just fine. Also, when I'm at the gyno, they use the smallest speculum they have. With that, I still hurt and he says I shouldn't hurt. Where and what is he talking about? Besides an hymenectomy and larapascopy, what other procedure could this be?

Don't say to get another opinion. It's not like I'm gonna be having durastic surgery and I trust my gynecologist very much.

i think by incision he means to make you wider in that area. they have to do that sometimes to women giving birth because there is not enough room for the baby to come out. but that part of your body is made to stretch, and I'm sure if you just started having sex that over time it will work it's way bigger, and won't hurt anymore. i know you said you don't want a second opinion, but i would get one. you don't want to have an incision made on your body if you don't really need it, and it's just something that is perfectly normal.

If it hurts at the entrance of the vagina like it's stretching, that's probably where he wants to make an incision, so the skin doesn't have to stretch so much. I doubt it's completely necessary... However skin trauma during sex can make you more succeptible to getting STDs. Can also cause yeast infections, etc, just because it interferes with your skin's natural defences. Plus repeated stretching and then healing of the same area can't be good... might cause scarring?
You really should have asked your gyno this question though!

He's giving you the opportunity to correct this yourself. Typically, the only time an ob/gyn makes an incision is during childbirth. Called an episiotomy, it temporarily widens the opening, but with proper care and excercise, the new mother can regain the tightness of her vaginal walls.
Have you and your partner tried stretching exercises to "limber up" your vaginal muscles prior to intercourse? You should. If you are comfortable and trust your partner, there is no reason for this tightness to persist. The other possibility is something called Vaginismus, but that is pretty extreme based on your info, however it is worth a look:

Hope this helps.

I think your vagina sounds normal and you don't need an operation of any kind. Although you may be lubricated, you may not be totally relaxed. Your partner may have to spend a lot more time being affectionate, giving you a massage and giving foreplay. Men are, on the whole, pretty impatient when it comes to this. They focus on getting dessert before they've had starters and the main course! It is my guess you guys are rushing. BTW, You are not too small. That is a biological fact. You are built to squeeze a baby through it. I doubt that your man's appendage is bigger than an eight pound baby!

the incision they sometimes make at childbirth is an episiotomy, but this will not be what he is talking about because immediately after you have the baby they sticht the episiotomy incision up again, so i doubt that is going to help at all. i sometimes have pain at the beginning of intercourse, but it doesnt last and its just until you strtch enough. all my friends say they have the same. and we have all been active for a looooong time. ask him what it is he wants to do and if your not happy with the idea, dont have it done.

I'd have to assume that he's talking about a hymenectomy, but If your gyno is so great shuldn't he be the one answering this question for you? Asking him to explain what he's talking about would probably work a lot better than asking a bunch of strangers to read your gyno's mjind.

well u do sound very small but i have never heard of a doctor making any little incisions down there in the opening of your vagina. except when trying to push a baby out. it sounds a little weird but if u want your doctor to do it and DONT want a second opinion, i guess thats just what ur gonna do.

My guess would be that becuse you are small it is a Size probablem and just to Relax and go slow for a lil while in the begaining of sex..Your doc is probably thinking about Slightly inlargeing your opening down there

I had the same type of problem a couple years ago. I had a bad yeast infection and I just needed some really good antibiotics. It completely got rid of the problem.

I don't know...but I would just ask him for more details about what he means. I'm sure he would be willing to discuss it further with you.
