Where is the gas release coming from? I think this is pretty normal for everyone from time to time to experience it coming from your flower, I tend to find it depends on the position. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about!

Some girls do find sex painful but I would speak to your GP just to be on the safe side.

Hope this helps lovely x

I also get this! Luckily me and my partner just laugh about it but it’s not the nicest feeling.

I’m still waiting for a diagnosis and am going to see the gynaecologist tomorrow so was planning to ask. If I find anything out, I’ll let you know ☺️

Confirmed I need surgery to remove an ovarian cyst and I have an MRI over the weekend to check for Endo.

Apparently I have friable cervix which means the tissue is very sensitive and raw, bleeding to the touch. The gynaecologist seems to think that the pain from that is causing me to tense involuntarily as a reflex anticipating pain. Not sure if she’s right but that’s all I got 🤷‍♀️

You did well to get it removed I was in hospital confirmed enlarged overly cyst but was told to go home and get a referral from gp feel sometimes I am not taken seriously at all interesting because at 21 I had endometriosis removed womb and cervix x

I likewise have an enlarged ovarian cyst and I think because of my age (22) they're concerned about preserving fertiltity for the future. Considering everything else they've told me about my antomony making it 'difficult for me to conceive', including friable cervix and a didelphic uterus, I'm not sure why they're bothering! 😂

I agree that it's so difficult to be taken seriously. I'm worried that they're just treating the physical symptoms of the cyst and will quickly dismiss me after that. I hope you get some answers soon 😇
