Painful intercourse can be caused by a number of conditions including, but not limited to, feelings of guilt about sex, memories of traumatic events such as rape or incest, and physical disorders of the female reproductive system. If the latter are a possibility you might wish to consult a sex therapist. Physical causes might include a yet intact hymen that does not allow insertion of the penis or a rare condition called vaginismus which is an involuntary tensing of the vaginal muscles that prevents penetration of any sort. Infection could also be a possibility. A physical problem could be assisted by care from a gynecologist. If you have not had an exam for evaluation of these physical possibilities, it would be recommended to do so now.

I know someone who had two abnormal PAPs and had to have her cervix frozen and then the doctor said she'll need to have PAPs more often to make sure it will not reoccur. Is the only way you can have an abnormal PAP due to HPV virus or could there be another cause? The doctor labeled her issus LSIL.
Question by Chris from St.Helens |

There are a number of terms used to describe abnormal pap smear results. LSIL is a common diagnosis, especially in young women. Although the majority of LSIL paps do return to normal, some can become pre-cancerous and should be treated as your friend's was to prevent that from occurring. Many LSIL pap smear results can represent HPV infection. The recommendation for more frequent pap smears with this history would be therefore very appropriate. The new "Thin Prep" pap smear procedure can better identify HPV and might be a recommendation as well.

I washaving sex with my boyfriend and he hurt me to the point which i felt something deep within my stomach is it possible that he hit my womb?
Question by Victoria from Ewing |

Orgasm can cause rapid contractions of many different muscles including the uterus (womb) which may account for the "pain" you experienced. The womb, however, is well protected by the body from direct contact with the penis. You may wish to discuss use of alternate positions for sex with your partner for greater comfort/reduced discomfort in the future. Such change in position could also avoid possible contact with the cervix (opening of the womb) if this were to cause you discomfort or pain also.

I am currently on Estrostep for about 8 months and I had a sinus infection so I was put on penicillin. I know it effects the birth control pill and it requires back up protection. I haven't been sexual active, since I was put on penicillin. I have finished with my penicillin for about a week and a half. I have my period rigth now, and next week I will start a new pack of pills, I was wondering about how long I should wait for the pill to be efficient.

You are correct that antibiotics can interfere with the effectiveness of the birth control pill. We usually recommend that you complete the pack you're using, have a period, and start your new pack before considering the pill to be in effect. Based on the information you have offered, as soon as you start your new pack, they should be effective. If still concerned an additional 2 week use of the condom would also do no harm.
