I'm having extreme pain during
penetration, I even bleed. Several years
ago I had a hysterectomy with no sexual
complecations till now. The pain feels as
if being cut to deliver a baby. I've
tried lubricants and different positions,
nothing seems to work. I have had the
same partner for the last 8 years so size
isn't the problem. Can you help????

Sounds like it may be dyspareunia, pain
during intercourse. You should see your
gyn - there is definitely treatment
available.

Well, there may be medications, or
"exercises" like kegals. At the ob/gyn
clinic I work for we actually have a
physical therapist on staff who
specializes in pelvic pain and vulvar
disorders. There may be someone in your
area that your doc can refer you to. The
bad part is that sometimes a patient ends
up needing surgery to diagnose and treat
some underlying cause, like endometriosis
for example. But I wouldn't jump to that
conclusion or anythingjust yet. It
really is a common problem that not a lot
of women talk about. I hope that helps
you out a little bit!
Other than that, have you tried using
lubricants and just relaxing? If you're
tense you vaginal walls will tighten up
possibly causing pain with penetration.
