hi guys, this might be a long one so apologies.

I am at my wits end with sex related pelvic pain.

Let me start right at the beginning, when i was 17 (i am now 21) i had pelvic inflammatory disease and ended up in hospital to treat the infection it was so bad. Last year i started to experience extremely heavy and painful periods to the point where i couldnt go to work or leave the house when i was having my period. I was also experiencing a deep pain during intercourse. The pain felt as if it were in my stomach and sometimes back and rectum. This really had an impact on my life as you could imagine so after countless drs appointments i was taken to hospital for a laparoscopy. They found that i had a bicornuate uterus however this was no reason for pain. They found scar tissue from my previous infection that they managed to get rid of, they said this wasnt the reason for pain either. They found a fibral cyst which was removed and a polyp in my womb which was removed. They told me when i woke up that nothing they found would have caused the pain. I went home and healed and got back to my everyday life. I started to have sex again and was still experiencing pain. Periods are slightly more bearable but the pain during sex was there. I ignored it and thought i might just still be healing internally that is until i had sex lastnight 10 months after my op and experienced really awful pain. I dont know what else to do, im going to the drs tomorrow but im so sure theyll say theres nothing more they can do as theyve already investigated. I just dont know what im going to do i cant just be in pain for the rest of my sex life there has to be something causing it i just need some advice. sorry its a long one but i dont know who else to turn to
