Hey all. I know I shouldn’t be but I’m really nervous/embarrassed to ring my doctor about painful sex🥺 any tips? The last couple of weeks sex has been quite painful for me, I thought it was dryness from a side effect from my pill, however we have spent a lot more time on foreplay and used a lot of lube, reapplying throughout and it is still very sore on the inside of my vagina. I have started experiencing UTI like symptoms on and off (I’m very prone to them) this has been going on for a while and it’s making me start to avoid sex, which isn’t like me as me and my bf have both always had very high sex drives and have sex very often. This makes me want to get it sorted out but I’m very anxious about having to speak about it with a doctor😞

@girlwhosseen thank you! I know I’m being silly but I just hate stuff like this lol. I’ve only been with one person before him which we always used condoms and my bf has never been with anyone else. We’ve been together over 3 years and the only issues we’ve ever had is that I would be very prone to UTIs. I don’t know what’s going on, I know I need to talk to someone but I’m just nervous and anxious

^yeast infections can also cause painful sex

@girlwhosseen that’s true! Just wanted to give you the situation incase that changed anything lol, thanks for the response☺️ @aurielle will just have to get over it and ring up lol, thank you☺️
