hi everyone,

i would like to know if anyone knows more about dyspareunia. i went to my family doctor the other day to have my first pap smear but it was very painful even if he hasnt even used the instrument yet - he just tried to check my thing using his fingers. he stopped and said it might only worsen things for me if he continues the test. he referred me to a an ob-gyn with his initial diagnosis as me having dyspareunia. Is it safe to rely on his diagnosis even if he has not really conducted a thorough test on me? My DH and I also have trouble with sex because it's way too painful for me. I'd appreciate any advice you may have on this. Thanks
