Answer 1

I'll try to give you a honest, straight forward and non-judgmental reply to your question. Pelvic pain along with vaginal bleding and pain during intercouse or dyspareunia is usually indicative of some sort of Urinary tract infection or UTI. Another cause would be some sort of Pelvic inflammation or infection or PID or it could be from a STD.


Until, you find out what's the problem; you should totally refrian from sex for awhile as it causes you a lot of discomfort. Discuss this with your boyfrined. I'm sure he'll understand as you are in a great deal of pain. And when you are like that; you couldn't probably enjoy sex. even with the use of condomn.

Now, I'm going to describe in length possible causes of painful intercourse: and remedies:



Painful sexual intercourse, called dyspareunia in medical terminology ; is a common complaint among women seeking gynecological care. Many women report occasional pain with intercourse, but some women have pain with every episode of sexual relations. Although it may take a few visits to a gynecologist or other health care provider experienced in women's health, the cause of dyspareunia can usually be identified and treated.


There are three main types of painful intercourse. Perhaps the least common is pain that occurs only after intercourse or orgasm. This can be due to uterine contractions from orgasm. Women with this problem may get relief by taking medications like ibuprofen before intercourse, which can block pain from uterine contractions.


Another source of this type of pain is an allergy to semen, which is actually quite uncommon. After her partner ejaculates there can be an intense burning sensation and redness around the vagina and vulva (the outer "lips" of the vagina). There have actually been a few reported cases of women going into shock after sexual intercourse due to an allergy to semen.


A third cause of pain after intercourse is a vaginal infection, such as a yeast infection, which can cause a burning sensation within the vagina due to irritation.


Pain immediately upon penetration or touching the outer lips of the vagina can be caused by a variety of medical problems. For example, herpes infections cause blisters which are very tender to the touch. A scrape or small cut at the entrance to the vagina can create pain.


Some women have a hymen that does not completely resolve after their first few attempts at intercourse, which can cause an intensely painful sensation upon penetration. Some infections, such as yeast infections or bacterial vaginosis, create irritation of the vulvar or vaginal tissue, leading to immediate pain with sex.


And, dermatological conditions such as squamous hyperplasia or lichen sclerosus may cause damage to the vulvar skin, making it tender to the touch. Inadequate lubrication may also cause pain. The diagnosis of these conditions requires a thorough gynecologic exam, and, in a few cases, a small biopsy of the skin using local anesthesia in the office.

Another problem that can cause entry pain is vaginismus, where the vaginal muscles contract involuntarily, making penetration extremely painful or impossible. This may be due to a subconscious response to prior pain, where the body tries to protect itself from pain by "closing off" the vagina, or may be due to psychological pain, in women who have an abuse history or who are fearful of sexual activity. As with any condition with a potential psychological component; anxiety might be a cause.

Treatment for these conditions is antibiotics for infection, steroid creams for the dermatological problems, a vaginal dilator or minor surgery for a partially intact hymen, and counseling and vaginal dilators for vaginismus. Lack of lubrication can be treated with water-based lubricants (NOT Vaseline, which may be harmful to vaginal tissues).


Probably the most common type of pain with intercourse is "deep thrust" dyspareunia, where deep penile penetration causes pain. This is common during passionate sexual relations, and can come and go depending on the position used during intercourse. Many conditions can cause this type of pain, including a prolapsed uterus (where the cervix and uterus are "falling out" of the vagina due to relaxation of the tissues that hold them up within the vagina), a "fallen bladder" due to childbirth, scar tissue around the uterus or ovaries (called adhesions), an ovarian cyst (although this is an uncommon cause of such pain), large uterine fibroids (non-cancerous tumors of the uterus), and endometriosis, a condition where tiny implants of blood from the uterus stick to the female organs and cause pain. or a retroverted uterus.



Many women suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, and intercourse can cause the uterus to hit the intestines, causing pain. Medical studies have shown that many women with this condition are reluctant to engage in sexual relations due to fear of pain or accidental release of gas or feces during intercourse.


Some of these causes of deep-thrust dyspareunia are difficult to diagnose, and may require multiple exams and even outpatient laparoscopic surgery.

Laparoscopy, sometimes called "belly button surgery" is an outpatient surgery where a lighted tube is inserted into the belly button to directly view the internal pelvic (female) organs to diagnose and treat problems.



In summary, a number of conditions can cause painful intercourse. Contrary to popular belief, psychological causes are very unusual, and medical causes are usually the culprit.


Therefore, women experiencing painful intercourse on a regular basis should seek the care of a gynecologist or other women's health care provider with experience in painful intercourse. With a little detective work and cooperation between the patient and her doctor, treatment can be provided that will lead to a more healthy and enjoyable sex life.


As you have no health insurance, you should try to go a free walk-in clinic.. This is esp true for young students like yourself. You can also divulge your problem to a school nurse or pyschologist. You might benefit from going on the birth-control pills which regulate your menstrual preriods and ease up the pains. I used to have this severe pelvic pains attributed to endometriosis.and subsequently to IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. In the meantime, drink a lot of fluids, water and esp cranberry juice. In the future, try to get up after intercourse and void. This would prevent further occurence of UTI or urinary tract infections.

Answer 2

Everything that rosiec said is true, there also other causes of pelvic pain. You should see a doctor without delay. Hopefully it will be nothing serious, but it could be, so get in to a doctor soon.

Answer 3

I got diagnosed with genital herpes (type 2) about five years ago, while I was still attending college and had a dumb one-night stand. I realize loads of girls will declare this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this video https://tr.im/NIvkn everything changed.

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a packed cafe, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program provided me the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the World.

Answer 4

You should go to your local health department and have them check you for either Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or Endometriosis. This sounds sorta like what you are describing here.

Answer 5

You need to go see the doc. You could have pelvic inflammatory disease and if you don't get it checked out and treated you could end up in the hospital facing huge medical bills. Also pain with sex is not normal and neither is bleeding with sex. This indicates something is wrong. Go to urgent care now and get checked out before this gets worse and no sex until you get checked and treated.

Answer 6

The pressure and constant pain along with spotting can be a tubal pregnancy.
There are so many very serious reasons to why this is happening. See a doctor. I just searched it.

Answer 7

The pain could be due to the bleeding between periods or something to do with your bladder or intestine....if you are bleeding inbetween your periods you should really see a doctor especially if there's pain associated and you've been having the "in between" periods for a while...
