I have had a number of symptoms for about half a year that I put down to perimenopause and normal aging: heavy and painful periods, shorter cycle, flooding, bloating, clots, worse than usual PMT. But during my recent last period I struggled to insert a tampon and it feels "wrong" inside. I feel "full" and seem to have less room in my vagina. I also had an embarrassing (and traumatic, particularly for my DP) situation the last time we had sex (around 3 weeks ago) when just after penetration, my DP snapped his frenulum - I think because I seem to have a swelling at the front of my vagina. We were about ready to try again when bam unexpected period and tampon issue.
I'm 42, does this sound like normal things that happen to a 42 year old or should go and get it checked out as it seems to tick a lot of fibroid boxes.
