Dr. vonAlmen Thank you for your explanation. That is similiar to what my doctor described to me. Will this problem eventually go away? I am still young and I would like to be able to have a normal sex life! I have gone to the gynecologist annually since I began having sex, I have always been careful when choosing partners/using protection. I have done everything right and so far I have experienced no problems. So I am very upset that this is happening.
