I am so relieved to see that I am not the only one having this issue. My husband seriously did not believe that there is any way the pain was related to sex. I actually sent him this thread so he could read how many other women are having the same problem. The pain is often so unbearable that I can’t even stand long enough to change a diaper. I literally have to plan out any sort of relations with my husband and make sure that I have a babysitter set up for the next day since I know I will be in pain for most of the day.
I had this during my first pregnancy but it did stop after birth. I am now 24 weeks pregnant and the pain started as soon as I started to show. I too spoke with my doctor with no real answers. I have started going to PT as I suspect it has to do with either my sciatic nerve or varicose veins (which I have developed down my leg this time around).
Since I had a C-section and have never really gone into full labor I am not sure about Cystocele. However, I will mention the symptoms to the next doctor I see and maybe she will have a thought on what is happening. I will write again if I notice a difference with the PT exercises or get any answers from any of the doctors in my practice.
Just knowing I am not the only one is so helpful though…
