Where is she 'getting graphic'?
What, you don't like words like:
painful sex
worked by hand
hymen
Missionary
foreplay?
If these words are too much for you and you think they are graphic, you
have some kind of 'shame' issue attached to sex. Which isn't normal,
and is YOUR problem, not hers or anyone else's.
Sex is a natural drive, and there are many positions that women with
endo
can use to ease up on the pain.
The lady is not being graphic by telling us what the problem is.
PCOS DOES cause pain similar to endo. In fact, it's possible to
have BOTH conditions. I know, because I have them both!!
She should not stop trying to find better positions, because if
she experiments now, she may be able to find a better way to deal
with her sex life.
It is not her fault you have a sexual hangup. (odd that you find vagina
and rectum 'normal' words, but not hymen or foreplay)
Please spare us your judgmental craptrap.
There are many excisionists she can see and I would suggest the lady
look
at these websites to see what an excisionist can do for her:
Dr. Cook in CA http://www.pelvicpain.com/
Dr. Lyons in Georgia http://www.thomasllyons.com/procedures.htm
Dr. Robbins in Maine http://www.endoexcision.com/
Dr. Liu in TN http://www.gyndr.com/
and Dr. Redwine http://www.endometriosistreatment.org/
There are two doctors, Dr. Orbuch and Dr. Seckin, who are in
NYC and specialize in endo. You can check them out at
ratemds.com.
