Hi, I had the same symptoms as you and mine turned out to be an ovarian cyst. Please go to see a Dr and tell them exactly what is going on. Don’t be embarrassed, the Dr’s are used to all sorts of symptoms and will want to help you! Stop having sex as it’s obviously irritating it. Concentrate on your own health and good luck!

Hi you have my every sympathy it’s so scary and off putting especially when you see those spots of blood on the tissue. Good that you’ve been checked out and alls ok. I’ve suffered with the exact same thing for many years. It started in my early 30s when they diagnosed me with cervical erosion and I was told not to worry! They said that they could freeze the area if it became too much of a problem. If you haven’t already you could maybe try some vaginal lubricants or moisturisers Yes is a brand that my GP recently suggested I try. They have a dedicated website with lots of info hope this helps.

Yes you need to go and see your doctor as it can get worse I had 28 sists on both my ovaries and all was removed when 43
