Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Get evaluated : Progesterone is unlikely to help endometriosis or other causes of painful intercourse. This is a complex problem and requires an extensive workup and evaluation. Schedule a visit with a gynecologist for an exam and testing.
