Advice on vagina growth / painful sex

does anyone know what this could be?? hi, i have been in the same relationship for 7 years and never used to have any problems during sex. for the past 2-3 years ive found sex increasingly uncomfortable, and when previously mentioned to doctors they have always said its probably vaginismus. at first i considered this (although never really believed it could be this, as cant think what would have triggered it and i never had any problems before with the same partner). i felt the issues are due to changes in my vagina opening and that it appears to be growing and becoming more fleshy and crowded, whereas before it was more of just a hole and you could feel the vagina walls more easily. my discomfort during sex is mostly to do with the friction of it rubbing against these fleshy growths, rather than tightness per se… as in my vagina stretches but the growths get in the way. i also dont have a problem with lubrication, but have tried using lube and that makes no difference as the growths are still there. does anyone knw what this could be???

Is your partner a virgin? Does he have any problems with his penis as well?

He doesnt have any problems. I’ve had STD checks before and all fine.

What a mystery… I have no idea. What do you think its is? Any thing that runs in your family?

not a clue. doesnt seem to fit with description of any diagnoses ive looked up. and doctors/nurses have never seemed concerned the 2/3 times ive been examined. but considering my ongoing difficulties with intercourse i just really want to know if theres anything i can do.

Well I have no idea… but I have heard that some women can be allergic to the sperm of their partner. Sex is quite strange isn’t it?
