vaginapagina | pain during sex (Reply)

i have EXTREME pain during intercourse on the very outside of my vagina, and i was hoping somebody here might be able to lead me in the right direction to figuring out why.

i know it's not due to a yeast infection, and its not due to stds. penetration hasnt always hurt, the first time i was ever fingered, i was fine, it felt great. which to me seems sort of odd, because tampons have always hurt, and any sort of penetration i've had since then has always hurt.

i've seen my gyno about it, and she thinks it's due to vestibulitis. she prescribed me a cream called clobetasol propionate, to apply twice a day for two weeks. it didnt work at all. she also prescribed me lidocaine cream to sort of numb me during sex, but that didnt do anything either. i've gotten a pap smear, but havent gotten the results back yet.

i'm getting desperate. any ideas?
