I recently got diagnosed with gh, I was so upset at the time and after my first outbreak which was the worst pain I have ever felt I hoped I wouldn't get any more any time soon and after following my treatment it went away. then within a week it was back, not quite as painful. but since then it's been back again twice, each time it starts to get better, my symptoms come back. my partner is very understanding of my condition and he is my rock during my outbreaks but obviously we aren't sexually active whilst I am in an outbreak and I suffer from endometriosis which causes me quite a lot of pain which means it's been 5 weeks since we've even had sexual contact and even before that it was infrequent. I don't want this to start putting a strain on our relationship as he makes me so happy. I'm so worried he is going to get fed up of me constantly being in pain and go else where. I've raised the concern with him and he says it doesn't bother him. I feel so ashamed and such a crap girlfriend not being able to be close with him. is there any suggestions as to how I can stop these out breaks, I'm losing the plot, it's affecting everything. HELP
Ok, well you need to get on suppressive therapy. I know what you're going through though, because I've had this over a yr and am on my 4th OB back to back, going on two months. I have a suspicion that starting to smoke again may be the culprit for me and this is happening even w me on meds!
I too also have stage 4 endometriosis. I've had two surgeries for it and lost a right ovary and tube from it. If you are not on birth control, you need to get on it immediately. It is the only thing that gives you relief. Sometimes you've let it go too long and then surgery may be required.
There are plenty other things you can do to please him w out sex. You just make it all about him. Give him a full body massage, give him foreplay w your hands and your mouth... Just make it all about him and he'll appreciate it. You don't need your vagina to have sex. Use your imagination.
I asked the doctors about meds but they said it was just something I'd have to live with on no meds other than acyclovir when I have an ob. I am on birth control for my endometriosis which does offer me a lot of relief.
my partner doesn't enjoy foreplay unless I am getting pleasure out of it aswell, I try and make it all about him but he doesn't enjoy it any where near as much as being able to please me too. I just feel so useless to him. and he says he understands, and I try and make things exciting but sometimes I feel like he just goes along with it and doesn't enjoy it.
You must be in the UK? if so, I'm not surprised, but I recommend finding other doctors. I live in the US and it is easy for us to get daily therapy.
Well I understand he wants to please you as well, but that's just the sacrifice he has to make to be w someone who has it.
