Please visit this website for wonderful information about this.  The good thing is that it can be cured with antibotics.  You have to go to the doctor and get a pap smear done.  Protect yourself when having sex.  Even o.r.a.l.

No, Pelvic Exams shouldn't be excruciatingly painful.\nThere might be some pulling or the doc forgot to heat up the speculum if, it is made out of medal.  Be sure to have them warm it up for you.  You might have had an inflammation of your vagina called vaginitis, this could account for the pain.\nIt is not the most pleasant experience but you need to also relax your pelvic muscles.  I would discuss this with your practitioner, so your next experience is more positive.

If you have had alot of sexual intercourse recently then that is normal. if the pain continues for a few days or you haven't had alot of sexual intercourse recently, then you should go see a gynecologist.

hmm, I would see you GYN. It could be a few things from irritation, something major. Go to your doctor

I think you should call your gynecologist or doctor and ask them, it could be a number of things.  It's better to be safe than sorry.

I think its perfectly normal, your body is adjusting to another form of contraception(artificial hormones) so there will be periods of uncomfortable lower pains in the pelvic region.\n\nThat said, it might be worth popping along to your gp to get it checked, it could be all matter of things and any infection should be ruled out.

I had that problem. I went and got it checked out and found out that their was blood vessels outside of my cervix and sex would break the blood vessels easily.  I just had them dried up in surgery and it went away. Go and have a check up. :)

The bloating, sentimentality, etc. are very normal. What does not sound as normal is the constant pain. Normal menstruation pains should ebb and flow depending on the amount of contracting the uterus does to expell the lining. \n\nConstant, radiating, or shooting pain... That may be cause for concern. You need to see your OB/GYN and have an ultrasound. This could be nothing or it could be a condition called endometriosis. Good Luck

Without a wet prep it would be impossible to tell you what sort of infection you have, unfortunately.   Bacterial vaginitis is simply an irritation of the vaginal canal, and doesn't mean any specific kind of bacteria was identified.   It could well be trichinosis, as that is what it usually sounds like complaint wise, except for the itching which usually also accompanies it.  It could be caused by any number of bacteria, though, and only the exam can give you a final answer.   Of course, you know the lecture you are going to get about using a condom.  But it is the best way to protect yourself from this sort of experience in future.  Repeated vaginal infections eventually can cause cervicitis, the inflammation that is often a precursor to cancer or other nasty changes in smears.  Take care of yourself, insist your partners wear condoms until you are absolutely sure.  These days you just can't be too careful.  In the meantime, make yourself as comfortable as you can.  Stick to the all cotton undies, avoid pantyhose, and make sure you launder it all in hot water and bleach.  Those that can't do a hot wash should be microwaved damp to be sure you kill all the little buggers hanging around.  Your partner will also need to be informed and probably treated as well, so you might want to give him some notice on that now.\n  Like as not it's just a routine bacterial infection, easily taken care of with a round of antibiotics or a cream.   You already know that drill, and this won't be any different.   With luck, by Monday you will know the answer for sure, and by Wednesday should start to note improvement.

this happened to me for 2 years after i began having sex. My doctor said that it was no big deal, that my partner was just slighty um, "large" down there, and that my hymen was just not fully broken before him. It stopped and the pain i was having with it stopped too. no problems since, good luck!!

You might have a growth on your cervix that needs to be removed and depending on your sexual postions your husband is only hitting it some od the time. I had bleeding after sex a couple times and found out I had a enlarged veesel on my cervix which they removed with a biopsy (only hurt a little) and now I'm fine.

hi..most likely you are having PID(pelvic inflamatory disease)...as far as UR history of cyst goes, it seem quite unlikely to be the root cause..\nMy advice to you is to go for lower abdomen ultrasound after taking charcol tablets and then consult your gynecologist...I feel that most likely it is PID.....Also if you fail to get any relief from Gyne, then do consult your surgeon to rule out any possiblity of inguinal hernia..\nAnd I am sure that once you take proper treatment, then you would be again enjoying sex with your partner..\ntake care.

While it can be normal, it can also be signs of things like early pregnancy, so my advice would be go to your gynecologist as soon as possible to have problems ruled out, especially if you're sexually active.

can you tell me your age, and has this happend before ? Do you have moderate - severe pain in the lower pelvic region? Are you sleepy alot of the time ? The reason I ask this is because some of the symptoms i asked you is related to endometriosis , which i to suffer. Abnormal period's lasting more than 7=10 days and coming back immediatley after is the first symptom , this is also more than not a heridetary condition . There is treatment available and most used is birth control pill's. Hope things work out , if you have any other questions id be happy to help

Hi,\nI'm sorry people are so sarcastic and mean when you ask a question on here.\n\nFirst of all, no one on this website is going to be able to give you any kind of definite answer to your question.  I will put links to information about chlamydia - the first from the Centers for Disease Control and the second from and Ob/Gyn-related site.  I hope that after you read this information, you will be able to talk to your doctor or clinic about the questions you have.  Only someone who has examined you and taken a THOROUGH medical history will be able to help you.\n\nI will try to make you feel a little bit better, just for now, but remember, I don't have your entire history.  In any case, it does sound like you caught it early both times - if you hadn't, that's when it tends to spread up into your uterus and fallopian tubes and cause infection and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.  It sounds like you have had regular medical care and that they would let you know if you had possibly sustained any damage to your reproductive organs.  So, the fact that they haven't told you anything like that MAY be a good sign.\n\nI'm saying the last part because I don't want you to freak out, but I do want you to get your questions answered - and not on this website.  Please take care of yourself and don't be afraid to ask any questions of your doctor or clinic.
