I also find that I can not, due to the pain, use a small tampon when my period is heavy. I feel as though I will pass out with the pain. Sexual penetration makes me feel as though I will pass out. The pain is 9/10 for penetration with a speculum, tampon or a penis. I may have to have further investigation to find out why I get frequent ecoli infections in urinary tract, vagina and back passage
Brief Answer:
This can be due to STD
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I think you might be having STD. Because of this even slightest penetration causes you severe pain. I would recommend you to get a culture of vaginal swab.
This can cause burning urination and back pain also.
