I believe I have what is called a septate hymen. My ex partner and I had been together for 2 years and sex was a huge problem, it was very painful for me to have him even try to have sex with me, I would often say stop because it hurt too much to attempt to have sex. It has been 3 months since we have split and I have avoided any kind of sexual relationship in this short period of time. Does anyone else have or has had a septate hymen? I believe this is the reason sex was so difficult for us, should I go to the doctors? Or is their an easier and less embarrassing way to get rid of it? Please help I'm so worried, thank you.
