Hey ladies.

I have an appointment scheduled tomorrow at 7:40 AM with a gyno, but I’m too anxious to wait and would love to hear from some of you. I’ve had an ongoing issue for close to two years. I tried talking to my doctor about it when it started and she brushed it off, but it’s been getting worse.

Symptoms:

1. Pelvic/vaginal pain

2. Increasingly more uncomfortable sex over the past two years

3. It feels like there’s something at the opening of my vagina

4. It sometimes feels like I’m sitting on something small when I’m not

5. I feel more uncomfortable if I wear jeans or pants that button and am sitting

6. The feeling of something being at the opening is more prevalent if I’m sitting on a toilet with my squatty potty

7. Over the summer I had the WORST period of my life, and my friend who is going to school for nursing thinks it may have been a very early miscarriage (I’ve always been safe though and if it was I didn’t know I was pregnant. It would’ve been maybe three weeks.)

For background, I am turning 24 tomorrow. I’ve never had children. I’ve only ever had sex with my boyfriend of 8 years and I’m his only partner as well.

I’m worried it’s vaginal prolapse. My grandmother has had multiple surgeries for it and my mom had her uterus and ovaries removed in her 30s due to endometriosis and slight prolapse.

When I first told my gynecologist two years ago, she had already examined me and she said everything looked fine and that your cervix just moves up and down throughout your cycle and it’s probably what I felt however I can’t think it would’ve been that far out at the time.

Any ideas or advice? Again, I am seeing my doctor tomorrow to find out for sure but I’m just freaking out. And I really don’t want it to be something I have to have surgery for - I’m so scared.
