See your doctor: This is a very complicated issue. There is no quick answer that can address this issue adequately in this kind of forum. Find a physician in your area with expertise in pelvic/genital pain syndromes and be seen face to face. A good place to start is acog.Org.

Rape after-effects: People respond to rape and other trauma in all kinds of ways, including physical. Please work with your own physicians on your specific issues, to make sure any possible physical injuries are healing. However, an older paper by dr. Bessel van der kolk "the body keeps the score" -- http://www.Trauma-pages.Com/a/vanderk4.Php describes how trauma can be re-experienced physically. Therapy can help.
