Call your Health Care Provider if
Call your doctor if:
- Home remedies are not working.
- You have other symptoms along with the painful intercourse, like bleeding, genital lesions, irregular periods, penile or vaginal discharge, or involuntary vaginal muscle contraction.
If you are a victim of a sexual assualt, report the crime to the police and go to the emergency room immediately. Get a trusted friend to accompany you. DO NOT change, bathe, shower or even wash your hands before the ER evaluation. The temptation to do so will be great, but it is important to not lose any evidence in order to help find, charge, and convict the perpetrator.
