This too is my issue! My partner seems to think it's me making up excuses yet I'm spending hours trying to describe the pain and how it makes me hate sex:( sex is just unbearable and I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. It's putting huge strain on us..

That’s my problem to, trying to explain something I hardly get myself is very frustrating! We argue over it so many times nearly split up

Over it any advice?

When I went to see my gynecologist after the surgery he told me to bring my partner with me on my next appointment which is in June. He explained that it would make them feel for involved and also educate him so he's able to get some understanding. He said if 6 month's is too long to wait I could also make an appointment with my GP so she could explain it to both of us. I hope this is some help to you. It's so frustrating and I'm totally with you on it.

I know how you feel it’s the same with my relationship I just don’t want sex due to the pain I’m in not just when I’m on my period I get it near enough all the time at the moment, just really stresses us both out
