The bleeding thing would alarm me. Your partner(s) never raised concerns?
TMI response
Title
He has, often. All the time. I just thought because I'm 'small' and he's 6" erect, that I was just tearing slightly. We get a bit... Rough lolI actually went for the pap because I my periods are wildly irregular and heavy.
I'm getting tested for gonoreah and chlamydia because she noticed the swolleness, just in case. If I have either, I'm 100% blaming my slutty abusive ex lol
This isn't TMI stuff. It's grown-up stuff. As a culture, we are still a bit awkward speaking about sexual health stuff, which is silly, this isn't Victorian England.
I love that he's nagged you, even if that wasn't the driving factor that led you to see a doc. It means someone cares about you and supports you. I also love that the professionals are onto it.
Truth to tell, this sort of thing is why I do the Movember thing. Blokes in particular are so bad at seeking professional help about themselves. Me included.
