Hello, I ve been experiencing painful intercourse the past 6 months. I had a pap smear and gyno examination, nothing remarkable was found. About 7 months ago, I had BV and a yeast infection, but those have since resolved (per multiple cultures), and the pain/bleeding persists. My gynecologist tells me there is nothing wrong, that it is vulvodynia, and the only treatment is a neurological medication. I never had this issue in the past, and have no other ideas as to what this could be. I did try lube, and the pain was not resolved. I have what I wonder could be a bartholin cyst? It goes away a few days after intercourse- could this be causing the pain? It feels sharp/painful, especially upon insertion. I would really appreciate any input.
