About 8 months ago, I started experiencing
a dull ache in my vagina--mostly with
tampon use. The issue escalated to the
point where, over time, I had to switch
brands of tampons until I began using the
super slim ones and intercourse had become
too painful to attempt.
I saw my doctor about 3 weeks ago who told
me that 'things look red'. She gave me
Doxycycline (which is for chlamydia and
syphillus) and hydrocortisone (1%). She
did not tell me anything more (although,
silly me, I did not ask), but advised that
I should not avoid intercourse (which
makes me think that it was not chlamydia
or syphillus)
I went through the medication as directed
and my last period wasn't too terrible
with removing tampons, but intercourse is
still painful. It almost feels like my
fiancee's penis is hitting my cervix, but
only when he has barely began to penetrate
me. Also, fingering is out of the
question.
Any ideas?

There are a lot of things that can cause
pain during sex. Good for you going to
the doctor about it. If I were you, I
would probably go back to the doctor and
tell her that the meds did not completely
take care of the problem. Then at least,
your doctor might take another look at
you, tell you more, or give you another
dose of the meds.

Is there any sort of abnormal discharge?
This sounds a little like a yeast
infection to me, especially if the meds
she perscribed you didn't work. If this
has gone on for 8 whole months nonstop, it
probably isn't syphilis. I think most of
the time syphilis is a come and go type of
thing. You'll definately want to go back
to the doctor though. The symptoms you're
experiencing are certainly no fun.
