Question Hello, my daughter is 22. She had a horrible pain 10-15 minutes after intercourse twice last year. We went to gynecologist, but she didn't find anything. A few months ago she took a morning pill once after the condom was broken. But last month she is having her period three times. The first one lasted 10 days and was very heavy, the second one in two weeks was for 3 days and not heavy. She took a pregnancy test and she is not pregnant. And now in another two weeks she is having another period and she is feeling lightheaded and extremely tired. We called the doctor, but she was not concerned and told us to come in for the check-up in a month. I worry about what's going on though and would appreciate any suggestions/recommendations. Thanks.
Answer it is pretty common to have unusual bleeding after the morning after pill. So I wouldn't worry about that one. But if she continues to be dizzy, she should have a blood count to make sure she hasn't become anemic, and also possibly thyroid tests.
The pain during intercourse is a tough one... there can be physical causes, psychological causes and both together. She needs a good thorough evaluation, that may ultimately involve looking inside with a laparascope to see if there is any structural problem like endometriosis.
