Is there anything one can do to stop pain during sex until they can afford a trip to the doctor?

Question

I realize not having sex is the best option here, but I was just wondering if anyone had any other possible solutions?

It feels like he is bumping into something that didn't use to hurt...there is a lot of pressure in my pelvis.

Answer 1

If it hurts, don't do it. This is generally a good life rule. Seriously, get yourself checked out before continuing to have sex. You don't want to do any permanent damage there, honey.

Answer 2

You should really see a physician to simply rule out exteme problems (which you likely don't have). You can probably qualify for state aid. Also you can probably find a nurse practitioner or doctor who will allow for monthly payments or sliding scale.

I've treated many patients who had pain during sex and one who would have spasms similar to extreme menstrual pain during orgasm. by using Supertouch STR(tm) a sophisticated hands-on acupuressure and working through the abdomen above the pubic bone, (as an abdomenal procedure, rather than a direct gynocological treatment) I work through the bladder and directly on the uterus. As this therapy is based on super-sensitizing the hands I can feel changes in the soft tissue (in this case the uterus) and reverse them completely so that the injuries or adhesions no longer exist and the patient is no longer predisposed to pain or reinjury.

This may be the case with you and is likely however, you really should have a proper western diagnostic checkup to rule out other causes.

Acupuncture while somewhat less effective would nonetheless be very helpful with the pain.

Finally, what to do in the meantime? Speak to a nurse at the emergency room over the phone and ask if you should come in right away. If it is determined safe for you to have sex. 600 mg of Advil 1/2 hour prior to sex should help substantially.

See your doctor

best wishes!

Of course, like you said, not having sex is the best option. Um, I guess it would depend on what kind of pain you are having. You could be having pain due to an infection, being in an odd sexual position, not being properly lubricated..it could be a number of things to cause the pain and since you didn't specify the kind of pain you are having, I am having to pick at straws at the moment. Try going to a medical website to research your symptoms. That could possibly give you solutions. Definitely go see the doctor, I hope all turns out well.

Answer 4

If he is bumping in to something and it is hurting now where it didn't used to hurt, and there is pressure, I would stop it all together and go see a doctor as soon as possible. I dint want to cause a scare but, you could have developed a tumor and as it may be growing, it could be what is causing the pain and pressure. Right now, your husband or lover's pleasure is not as important as your health.

I have had this same problem for YEARSSSSSS went to doctor after doctor after doctor. Tried many things and what seems to work best for me is before having sex fully empty my bladder wash up a little with water and then pat dry. After sex I get up right away use the bathroom again ( drink a big cup of water it helps) and again wash off this time a little more with a mild soap and warm water and pat dry again. It really has helped me alot. Also there are some positions that dont put as much pressure on the uthera you have to kinda just try a few different ones to see what works for you. If I have sex that is a little more on the ruff side I take a cystex right after with my glass of water and that helps to avoid the pain in the morning. IF it hurts during sex (i've been thru that too) try different condoms and different lubes until you find one that works for you and again try different positions that dont put too much pressure on the uthera one that works good is reverse cowgirl ( you are on top of him put instead of facing him face away from him so he has a view of your butt instead of breast). Urethral syndrome refers to a primarily female syndrome in which women suffer from irritative bladder symptoms (urinary frequency, urgency, burning, and more) in the absence of any objective urologic findings. That is to say, when they under medical evaluation their physicians discover no specific findings to account for their symptoms. Because the symptoms of urethral syndrome are similar to symptoms common for many irritative bladder problems, the diagnosis of urethral syndrome is often delayed. Symptoms, Causes, and Diagnosis Once again, the irritative symptoms accompanying urethral syndrome include: urinary frequency, urgency and burning in addition to possible low buck pain, suprapubic pain, and hesitant or slowed urinary stream. Because these symptoms are so common with other urinary problems, your physician must eliminate other disease possibilities and diagnose urethral syndrome by exclusion. Many urethral syndrome patients were initially told that they have recurrent urinary infections. Upon closer history, however, it is discovered that their supposed urinary infections have been poorly documented. Other disease processes which must be excluded are: Chlamydia infections, Ureaplasma infections, neurological disorders, gynecological disorders, bladder tumors, urethral narrowing, interstitial cystitis (see below) and more. Your physician may wish to perform certain tests in order to clarify the diagnosis. These tests may include X-ray studies and bladder studies. The X-rays may be done in order to be sure there is no stone or other physical abnormality. The bladder studies may include cystoscopy, which allows direct visual inspection of the interior of the bladder. The true cause of urethral syndrome is not known. Some feel that it may be due to urethral stenosis (narrowing) but this is not well documented. Others feel that it may be due to infectious agents which are difficult to isolate, neurologic factors, or psychology factors. Treatment The challenge in treating a disease whose cause is uncertain is obvious. Because the most likely cause of urethral syndrome remains infectious, antibiotics are the first treatment choice of most physicians. If different antibiotic regimens fail, other treatments must be tried. These include looking into the bladder (cystoscopy) and perhaps burning some infected appearing areas using a special scope. Some physicians may try to instill different chemicals into the bladder to treat urethral syndrome. At still other times, a patient may respond to certain oral pharmaceutical agents which relax or otherwise relieve bladder symptoms.

Answer 6

The question is does it also hurt when you are not having sex?
Either way, go see a gynecologist ASAP. For all you know you could have an STD and should not be having sex with your partner.

Answer 7

You may have endometriosis, and you shouldn't delay being seen. Having pain during sex is not normal, see a doc soon.

Answer 8

Honestly, no. If there was anything, I would've tried it before spending tons of money on doctors' appointments and treatments. (On the up side, things are finally improving a bit.)

Answer 9

Doing it when it hurts one or more of you is not going to make anything better for anyone, belive me. Find the money to address this issue seriously...

Answer 10

If it hurts, you may be doing damage. I'd lay off for awhile. If you must, then all the good stuff if prescription: oxycodone, vicodin. Alcohol?
