A Personal Question. (TMI?)

Hey there....Um, I've lost nearly a 100 pounds and still have some ways to go. I've noticed that I'm having some issues. Sex hurts now, now all the time, but the penetration isn't always as exquisite as it once was. If I angle myself differently, it isn't so bad or it goes away all together, but

this is a problem I've never had before. :bored:

Are any of you experiencing this or any other changed in your sex life? What about oral sex? Does...gosh, how do you say it without just saying it? Okay, is swallowing an issue? I mean you have to sip slowly right, but....:thumbup:

Okay, maybe this is all a little TMI, but who else am I gonna ask? You guys are the ones living it, breathing it and well, anyway... :wink_smile:

I just want to say thanks for this thread. Not because I have experienced the same thing, but because I haven't seen it discussed, and sexuality certainly changes with massive weightloss.

Thanks too for the laughs on the swallowing question. It's something I have actually considered, but the question, and the answers were put out there with such good humor....LOL I love you guys!

Great job on the current weightloss, btw!!

Maybe you have some adhesions internally from the surgery, and the pain is referred to the "area". I know that during my period, I have weird pulling areas I didn't have before, and I think it may be some scarring/pulling from the internal incisions.

My pain is more right above the pubic area,but deep. Seems like it happens more during the ovulatory period of my cycle as well. I guess it is because I am more tender during that time anyway. Since I had my tubal, I could always tell which side I was ovulating from because the pain is so intense and sex just makes all of it worse.

When I have gone to the Doc in the past, they come up with all kind of possible explainations and even have treated me for pelvic inflammatory disease, but can't ever find anything wrong. All my paps and ultrasounds come up normal. I have wanted a hysterectomy, but the GYN doesn't think I need it. Primary physician just thinks it is a hormonal problem

and has suggested bio identical hormone treatment.

I don't know, but I hope you get it all worked out.

Sincerely,

Stephanie

Goodness, that sounds awful. My pain isn't as ongoing as your at all. *hugs* I hope someone can figure something out for you because you're right, it shouldn't hurt, not at all.

I've ahd two surgeries this year, a g/b removal and the almost band. I know I have this wierd sensation between two of the scars. It feels like a pinch. Who knows what else is happening in there. :eek:
