Hi! It is possible that your ovaries scarred to the top of the vagina. Ovaries are just as sensitive as testicles and so if that happens (which is relatively common) whenever you have intercourse and "something" bumps the top of the vagina it is going to be painful. It is also possible that your endometriosis has reoccurred and that is what is causing the problem. A third possibility is that you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome and the intestines are the source of your discomfort--I have seen IBS mimic endometriosis MANY MANY times! If you were my patient I suspect we would first do an ultrasound to look for any obvious problems like cysts etc. and then the next step would either be: 1) laparoscopy( a tiny tv camera is inserted through an incision near the belly button) to possibly remove ovaries/scar tissue/endometriosis depending on what we found in there OR 2) try a high fluid/high fiber bowel regimen to see if that alleviated symptoms without having to resort to more surgery. OR 3) try medications like lupron or birth control pills to try to supress endometriosis symptoms again without putting you through more surgery. Any answer would be correct--it would depend on circumstances and preferences which way to go. Good Luck!
