Sex after gastric sleeve surgery

[nolaguy 3]

My fiance had the gastric sleeve surgery done over a year ago she lost a 100 pounds. Since then when wevhave sex she complains that it hurts. She asked her female dr and he can't see anything wrong. Itvis really putting a damper on the sex life where she doesn't want to have sex at all. Has anyone ever experienced this if so what wasvthe problem and what was done to reduce the pain? Hopefully I can get some answers from here.

Most people report an improvement in sex after losing weight. So the fact that she is sleeved is most likely unrelated. Has she had her hormones checked? Can she enjoy other forms of sexual play using toys or do those cause pain as well?

This is tough because correlation is not causation and on here you will read thread after thread where sex improves for a variety of reasons (improved confidence, improved mobility, etc.). I can appreciate that these events coincided but frankly her stomach is no where near her genitals. So while no one on here is a doctor, I appreciate Mommamia's suggestion of the therapist though I would think a sex therapist is more appropriate. As a woman, I know for me that sex is more mental than it is physical so checking her physically may not solve the issue(s) but iti s good that you have ruled out physiological issues. I hope you get some resolution soon and good on you for coming on here to ask.

I Have the same problem after surgery, I'm more interested in sex but it hurts. I'm not sure of the cause or any remedies though

It's hard to describe but it's almost like it's hitting my cervix and also feels tighter like a lot of pressure. Sorry I don't have a better way to describe it
