Anyone else had this? TMI

[WhiteWidow]

Warning TMI! And a bit long.

Just wanted to know if any other women have had/having the same problem I have

About a couple of months ago I started experiencing severe lower abdominal pain and considersble blood loss after orgasm. Didn't have to be penatrative sex... If you catch my drift.
I ended up in A&E because the pain was so bad, I was referred to a consultant and over the next few weeks I had scans and internals... All sorts.
In the end they found nothing wrong with me. They did find a small scratch inside during a camera scan and tried to blame it on that, despite me telling them it was coming from inside inside, and it didn't have to be penatrative sex. Ended up being told 'it's just one of those unexplained things'. Which doesn't help me at all! I didn't pull them up on it though because it had a actually stopped.
Well 2 weeks on and it's started again :( the pain is actually crippling. I've never had a baby but its what I can imagine a mild contraction to feel like.
As you can imagine this is going to effect my sex life because I'm so scared of the pain afterwards.

Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do? I really feel alone in this because no-one seems to have the same. All I can make sense of it is that it's like my muscles are contracting during orgasm, pushing blood out and causing the horrendous pain. Which lasts like an hour afterwards.

Please share! X

Not had this or heard of it before but I would def go see doctor again as this is def not normal. Good luck.

That sounds horrible I haven't had anything like that, but I hope you get someone to tell you what is going on!

My mums friend is going to pay for me to go private if it keeps on, I can't afford it myself but he's being so generous to help me

No-one seems to know what it is, next stop Dr Christian and Embarrasing Bodies! :(

Are you sure they didn't find a polyp? These can really, really bleed.

I'm sure. They showed me on a screen the scratch they tried to blame the problem on. It was on the entrance to my cervix. It defo didn't cause this. She kept prodding it with a sodding cotton bud as if to prove her point, needless to say I didn't bleed and I retold her it wasn't just happening when penetration was involved.

The blood isn't continuous either. I'll stand up, go to the loo and a big gush will come out. Then it stops. Which is weird..

You can go back and ask for a second opinion. I'd do this, going private can be really expensive. No fibroids? Endometriosis?

Could you have an infection in the womb? Has the doc taken swabs?

Also - is there any way you could be pregnant? This is what happened when I had a suspected ectopic, diagnosed as pregnancy of unknown location.

Thanks everyone.

They've taken swabs of cervix and said all was fine. Not pregnant either (or I wasn't when they checked so doubt I am now coz im on the implant) won't give me a smear though despite me requesting one, they say I'm too young.

Thanks again for your input x

my SIL recently had an STD with very similar symptoms to what youre describing, terrible abdominal pains, bleeding during sex (although she didnt mention whether this occured during non-penatration), might be something else but worth going to your GUM clinic just to be sure

I would push for a smear if you are having bleeding, i know the age for them is now 25 but surely if you are having pain and bleeding more investigations need to be done.

Go to your gp and go on at them until you get answers, don't allow this to go unexplained

Do not accept an "unexplained" explanation. All this means is that they have failed to find out what is wrong.

Scans and internal exams do not pick up endometriosis if it is there; it is usually only diagnosed through a type of keyhole surgery called a laparoscopy.

Deep pain during sex is very indicative of endometriosis being present.

Would suggest you keep a daily pain/symptom diary in the meantime and certainly return to the GP. Insist on a referral to a gynae consultant at another hospital. You need a gynae referral urgently.
