Painful Sex
"When I try to have sex I bleed
and it's really painful"

Dear Jacqui,
When I attempt to have sex it is very painful and I bleed. It is not a lot, but it is more than just a few drops. Should I be alarmed? Betty

Dear Betty,
Thanks for your trust. You are right to be concerned about the bleeding and I would suggest that you see a gynecologist. It is possible that you have a vaginal or pelvic condition causing the bleeding. When sexuality is uncomfortable to the degree you describe there is a reason for the pain. So be good to yourself and get a check-up. Only a proper medical examination can identify the cause of your discomfort. With good wishes,

Jacqui
