Please Answer!! What causes superficial pain during intercourse?
I have been sexually active for 4 years and I am 20 years old and have had two partners. I have always had pain during intercourse and it seems to be more superficial rather than deep but I do tend to get deep pain occasionally. I know I adequately lubricated and four play is not the issue. The pain starts as soon as penetration occurs and the pain is about 1 inch after entry. It feels like a burning, stretching feeling. I have a doctor’s appointment booked but I am just wondering what it could be in the mean time. Most of the time I cannot have intercourse because the pain is so bad but I am able to at other times. What could be causing this? Thank you
Other symptoms, not sure if related:
*Heavy, irregular periods until I went on the pill (still rather heavy though)
*sometimes vomit from menstrual cramps and would have to miss school because of pain. Also had to go to ER once because pain was so bad.
* gastro problems such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (diagnoses as chronic dyspepsia).. pretty much he didn’t know what was wrong with me
* rectal pain during bowel movement
* occasional light bleeding after intercourse
Any suggestions would be helpful!

There are a lot of things that can cause it, cysts, endometriosis (usually only when you get much older), a lesion on your cervix, lots and lots of stuff. Definately get it checked out by your doctor. If you are properly lubricated and "warmed up" you shouldn’t have pain.
