pain during orgasm

[im-sassy.livejournal.com]

for about three months now, maybe a little less, i have been having pain right at the moment of orgasm. it is like a stabbing pain in my clitoris/cervix/nerves of the vagina right when i come. this has never happened to me before and i'm scared. i went to one doctor who ran tests and did not find anything, and then went to a gynecologist who found gardnerella (BV). she put me on antibiotics, which didn't make the pain go away, and they gave me a yeast infection. she gave me something to treat the yeast infection and another round of antibiotics.
i'm confused though, because everything ive read on BV says that it shouldn't cause pain. could the BV make me susceptible to any other sorts of infections that could cause pain?
the other thing i didn't like was that both doctors kept saying, no matter what i tried to tell them, that lots of women have pain with intercourse. this has nothing to do with intercourse, unless of course it is something i got from having intercourse a while ago.
neither of the doctors had ever heard about this, and that's why i'm worried. has anyone here ever heard about this or experienced this?
thanks so much.

I have heard of this, among women who have vulval pain conditions (ie, it hurts not just during intercourse but a lot or all of the time). For them, the pain is due to nerve endings playing up - they overreact to stimulus, or are just constantly irritated. The most common of these conditions is vulvodynia, but some have clitorodynia.

However, if you are having problems only at the moment of orgasm, I doubt that the problem is quite the same. But I wouldn't think that an STI could cause the problem - I would still hypothesise that it's a matter of nerves.

Has anything changed recently - your partner, the kind of sex you have, your general wellbeing? Given the location of the pain, maybe the spasms of your vaginal wall / pelvic floor have become stronger?

I'm just guessing, really, so take none of this as gospel!
