Your pain may be due to scar tissue (the ovaries could be stuck ot the
top of the vagina, or bowel could be stuck), an ovarian cyst,
granulation tissue at the top of the vagina, or to a shorter vaginal
length. Try different positions during sex to see if you can find one
that is more comfortable. You will need to be examined by your doctor.
Be sure to tell him exactly where the pain is, when you experience it,
how long it lasts, what makes it better and worse, and anything else you
are feeling.
