Painful sex.. tips?
I was diagnosed with endo April og this year and negan having sex with my boyfriend in June. Since then we’ve encountered painful sex on my end, specifically pain upon entry and an uncomfortable pain during sex. So far we have tried different ways to have sex and I’ve personally tried to make sure I’m fully
Relaxed to minimise tension in my muscles. However it’s become harder to have sex as it’s has become unejoyable for me. Obviously during this time I’ve turned to google and tiktok and had alot of endo girls saying they experience the same but I haven’t found a great deal of ways to overcome the issue….
I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. Dealing with a new endometriosis diagnosis and then navigating the challenges it brings into your intimate life, especially with painful sex, can feel incredibly isolating and frustrating. It takes a lot of courage to keep trying different approaches, and you should be proud of yourself for seeking solutions!
What you are describing, especially the pain upon entry, is a very common experience for people with endometriosis. Have you considered looking for a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist or a Sex Therapist who has experience working with chronic pain conditions like endometriosis? They can offer specific exercises and coping mechanisms for muscle tension and pain. I also did a quick search on our site and we have a lot of different articles I thought you might find helpful https://endometriosis.net/forums/painful-sex-tips. Sending thoughts your way! Warmly, ErinThanks so much yeah as of recently I’ve been looking at pelvic floor exercises and then looked into some stuff posted on the website.
I’ve got a doctors appointment coming up to discuss some of these issues and to hopefully get more information on how to deal with it and hopefully some good therapist in my area x
