Hello, I’m a new member here, I’m hoping to find someone who has experienced what I am going through right now and can shed some light on my situation. I am 27, I have no children and have polycystic ovaries. My vulva splits in several places when I have sex, the tears are deep enough that they weep and bleed for days and cause so much pain when walking/sitting even standing and especially urinating (I have to use my fingers to cover the splits so the urine doesn’t touch them otherwise I can’t go) I have no idea why this happens, we have tried many things to stop this from happening over the years. Along with this I have now found out from my own research I have vaginismus, the muscles become so tight and it’s so sore, honestly I feel like I’m being punched in the vagina. This accompanied with the constant splitting is making me feel so down, I can’t explain it to my partner enough how I WANT to be able to have sex etc but how can i when all of this happens and I’m sore for the next week. I feel so alone, so upset and hopeless.
