Miscarriage, Cysts in ovaries & Copper T

Q: I am a 28-year-old mother of an eight-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl and my husband is 35. I have had two miscarriages so far and have got cysts in my ovaries. Though we have a healthy sex life now, we could not have one earlier when we were working long hours. Nowadays I experience pain for several hours after intercourse. My husband’s penis measures seven inches from pubic hair to the tip and he is circumcised. He is a gentle and caring lover and I am well lubricated too (I use Xylocaine 2 per cent gel). I have inserted a Copper T, which the gynaec says should not cause a problem. What could be the problem then?

A: Re-check with the gynaec to exclude possibilities of any infection. A vaginal pessary may be advised.
