It hurts to have sex

So basically, it’s what the title says.

I (23F) have had this problem for a while now, and with more than one sexual partner (even if they weren’t particulary big and I felt relaxed and wet). I can take a finger or two but anything more than that hurts too much.

I’ve been sexually active for a few years, and I never had this problem before, but it has been going on for a while now.

Now, I’ve considered going to the doctor for this, but I would like to know if there’s something I could do to resolve this problem on my own. I’ve tried everything i could think of: lube (it did help a lot but not completely), foreplay, using toys by myself (to see if it was a relaxation-related thing that i couldn’t spot in the moment)… nothing has worked out and it’s really starting to weight on me.

I don’t know if this could have to do with the fact that I’ve been on the pill for about 4 years and/or the fact that I have a retroflexed uterus, although like I said before this pain it’s not something I’ve always experienced.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
