@lisalucier Thank you for inviting me into this conversation. @cherelle Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Looking up the medication your Dr prescribed, it shows the main reason to use it is to decrease secretions. Why was that prescribed?May I ask, what was the reason for the total hysterectomy? [When I had mine Jan 1999, it was for fibroid tumors; they removed more than 7 pounds of tumor. I had no aftereffects, and no negative post-op issues.] If the reason for your surgery was endometriosis, might there be some scarring internally that is irritated during intercourse? Might there be some endometrial tissue regrowing? Also, thinking off the top of my head, might there be a shift of some internal organs that has occurred slowly in these three years, so that nerves are being triggered or moved? Have you had abnormal weight gain, or loss? It seems some further testing/imaging by your doctor is in order. Please let us know what course of action you decide to follow, and the results. We care here at the cyber table, about your well-being.
