    Ongoing problem, any explanations?

    Im 18 years old and have been sexually active with the same person for about a year and a half. The first time we had sex, it was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. The pain lessened over time but never felt good. I'm pretty petite so I assumed it would just take some time to stretch me out. I was on the pill for provably 8 months or so but it was terrible and made me an emotionally unstable lunatic so I stopped. I went to the gyno twice and told her my problems but she just brushed it off and said it'd get better. I was bummed but assumed she was probably right. SO recently the pain was really bad so I check myself out in the mirror and see a spongey looking pink tissue mass right at the opening of my vagina. It's kinda painful to even walk. I've noticed I've been very dry lately and any discharge is white and kinda milky/clumpy. What could this be and is it something I should get checked out? It may seem like minor problems but it's extremely frustrating and I'm afraid I'm never gonna get better. I just want to be normal ):

    Possibly a yeast infection, but hard for us to say for sure. If you're having pain with sex and walking, you probably need to see a doctor since it's hard for us to diagnose you here, so find a doctor who will actually pay attention to you. If the same gyno blew you off twice, then you should definitely go to someone else, even if it's just an urgent care center.

      Agreed, find a new doctor. A doctor should never dismiss pain.

      also, have you been stimulating your clit during sex. Many women don't feel pleasure from intercourse alone. Have your boyfriend give you oral before intercourse. See if you like that.
