Deep pain during sexual intercourse
by Kay5, Jul 23, 2007 12:00AM
Just over 2 weeks ago I had a D&C w/ hysteroscopy. I am a 55 yr. old female - still peri-menopausal. My doctor and I had planned on a an ablation procedure (heavy/frequent periods); but the results of the biopsy (a pre-op requirement) revealed simple endometrial hyperplasia. She then recommended the D&C and the insertion of an IUD to release progestin into my utereus to fight the hyperplasia. After the biopsy, when I had sexual intercourse, I experienced deep pain during sexual intercourse-nothing like this had ever happened before. Well, I have continued bleeding (not as heavy as before the D&C - but a steady period) and after waiting the 2 weeks to have intercourse - the deep pain was even worse. The pain feels like my husband's penis is "knocking" against something and meeting resistance?! Could this be scar tissue from the biopsy?....and then things made even worse during the D&C/hysteroscopy?? Do I need more time to heal around my cervix? Is the IUD the culprit? How/what steps are next to diagnose this embarassing pain? My husband is a wonderful man....I don't want him to know I hurt during sex.....but not sure if I can let it go on for too long.
