Wish I knew what to do
I have been married for 30 years. I have suffered with chronic cystitus for all 30 years. I never had problems with intercourse until about 3 years ago. All of a sudden the pain during and after is incredible. Pain upon penetration is so bad and then when we would finally succeed at that, the burning begins and burns for hours afterwards.
I never related the cystitus with the intercourse pain until after reading stories in this site.
I went to the doctor twice during the last several years to find why I started having pain. I thought maybe it was due to going thru menopause.
The doctors would run tests, but when nothing showed up in the tests, it was like I was just forgotten and the task to finding the answer to my problem stopped.
It has really started to affect my relationship with my husband the last several months. For the longest time, my husband was understanding and supportive and finally just quit asking for it. I felt really guilty about it.
I’m even afraid my husband my have gone and had an affair. It’s been a rough month.
Thanks for listening!
