I am a 38 year old married female experiencing pain during intercourse. It feels like bruising and there is no resulting bleeding, but today it hurt my stomach muscles to walk. I made an appointment for Monday, but in the meantime any insight would be appreciated. I have no discomfort during urination and very much doubt a UTI which l have had in the past. The pain is preceded by a sensation of crunching that did not happen during the first couple of years my husband and l had sex. Cists may be a possibility, but also could it be a psychosymptomatic reaction to being sexually assaulted by another man just before my marriage? That was just before the pain started and though it was digital rape only it was traumatic (as in hands). Thanks, Martine
