Does anyone have any experience with painful orgasms (dysorgasmia)? I started getting this earlier this year and it's very upsetting - the pain starts as the orgasm starts and is very sharp, almost feeling like the orgasm is 'blocked'(!).
I've had an US scan which showed several small fibroids and due to this, was referred to a Consultant. As my periods were generally regular, although are painful and heavy, she suggested endo and booked me in for a diagnostic laparoscopy and hysteroscopy which I had 2 weeks ago. This showed old endo scarring, and she doesn't consider my fibroids problematic- they're outside the womb (subserosal?), so she can't identify any immediate problems. She also took a biopsy which I'm sure won't flag anything up, and has put me on Transexamic acid to control bleeding during my period.
She seems more interested in solving my bleeding and period pain than my orgasm pain, although I've stressed this is the cause of my upset - I can handle the heavy bleeding and period pain, but I want my orgasms back!
I wonder if the fibroids are pressing on something that could make the pain happen? Does this sound like a thing? I've also wondered if it's something psychological, but I can't understand why. Although I survived sexual assault in my late teens, I'm now 39 and have a healthy and happy relationship with my husband.
Having Googled the problem, all I can gather from the (very minimal) pages I've seen is that is could be linked to menopause. I don't know. I suppose I'm just asking if anyone has experienced of this, and if so, did it get better and how? Any professional opinions on routes I might try? I'm seeing the Cons again in a few weeks and short of suggesting removal of the fibroids or a whole bloody hysterectomy, I'm not sure what else to do!
