Could I Have Cancer? Terrible Stabbing Pain During Intercourse

For the past 2 years I have had terrible stabbing vaginal pains during intercourse and am afraid it could be cancer. I had a ct scan 2 years ago and the gyno doc(a woman)simply told me I had to relax more during sex because I tightened up so during the exam. I also asked her about tiny nodules at top juncture of thighs where my panties rub against the skin. She nodded when I asked if they were skin tags. They are actually achey at times. i had a total hysterectomy ten years ago because of extensive and chronic endometriosis. I guess what I am asking about is-couldthe painful intercourse be my only symptom of vaginal cancer? I really need to talk with somebody about this before seeking a new gynocologist. ( I am full time in my RV with my husband and need to find one while I am in Idaho until October.

My syptoms for vaginal cancer were bleeding during intercourse,just a tiny pink amount at first, but got much worse. It had become somewhat painful during intercourse at the top of the vagina which is where my tumor was. I had a hysterectomy 11 years prior to my diagnosis. I also was having a small amount of urine leakage (just a dot at first, but also got worse). I thought I had a bladder problem. I was diagnosed and treated just short of two years ago.

I appreciate you responding to my message. I went to the doctor last week and am waiting for pap and biopsy results. the vagina has shrunk in size by over 1/2 and may be the reason for the pain, etc. How are you doing these days and what kind of surgery/treatments have you had?

I had radiation and chemotherapy, plus was treated by a homeopathic physician at the same time. If you would like to reach me, I have forwarded my email address to Paula. I would love to hear from you. Your symptoms are nothing like mine from what I've read. But, just stay positive, it's so important. I'll be sending good thoughts your way.

hi laurie jo. i was just thinking of you. have you got any results from your doctor yet? let me know. paula
