Can someone give me some hope?

[Rbkhnmh]

I’ve suspected PCOS & possibly endometriosis. It makes sex painful. I also think I could be contracting BV from semen as it throws off my PH balance, which has made sex painful too I think(I’ve just got some antibiotics for this) 6 years we were trying to get a diagnosis and were robbed off for many years. My ex left in January as we drifted apart, a big reason being that we couldn’t have sex, as he wanted it a lot more than I could obviously give him and I had a real lack of confidence and pushed him away as I thought he couldn’t love someone who was broken.
It’s left me crippled with really bad anxiety and my mental health is awful.
I’ve lost hope and wonder if I’ll forever be alone because I won’t be able to find a man who fully understands it.

Have you been to your GP about it?

So sorry to hear this OP.

Did condoms reduce the issue at all? If they do, there is plenty of hope there to rebuild your confidence with a new man. If not, I suppose it's going to need to be back to the doctor and annoy the hell out of him/her until you get what you need...

Have you had counselling?

Hi 😊 I’ve battled with the gp for so long. I went last November and was told I’d get a scan. I phones up the other day to just ask where everything was at, to find out that the doctor didn’t send off the scan request. So the last 6 odd months nothing came about. The gp I spoke to the other day has sent off for a scan now and new bloods for the pcos and endometriosis. She’s also given me some antibiotics for the BV, those symptoms had been going on for 5 years without it being picked up regardless of how many times I said I had discomfort, a strong smell, etc.
I’m a bit worried though as I’ve read so many people who have BV end up getting it over and over again :/. I didn’t realise until now though that it could of been his PH levels that were also causing it. We aren’t together now though so I wouldn’t be able to check.
I haven’t had any counselling about it, I think I’ve been so embarrassed that my body has been broken for so many years and when my ex said it bothered him that we couldn’t sleep together as much as he wanted to, it knocked me back a bit. I think that’s why I’m so worried I’ll never be able to find love again. X
