Hi Thanks for that. He wasn't necessarily rough, it's just that that
particular time it felt like it might've been at an awkward angle
hitting the anterior wall, it felt different and there was bleeding
afterwards. I have no idea whether I may be oestrogen deficient, but I
do have very irregular bleeding not helped by Implanon, and I've never
had children.
Is it possible for it be not just a surface tear but a deeper muscle
tissue tear? And if it was, what would a doctor do - advise abstaining
from sex and for how long or more than this?
Thank you again in advance for any advice you can give!
