Sex is excruciating because of my endometriosis but Tommy is understanding , says Molly-Mae Hague
MOLLY-Mae Hague has revealed it's “excruciating” having sex with boyfriend Tommy Fury because of her endometriosis.
The 22-year-old underwent surgery last year but it has unfortunately not helped reduce her pain during intercourse.

Opening up about how the ongoing issue affects her sex life with the boxer, the star revealed: “My two main symptoms have been the excruciating periods and the excruciating sex.
“I will be honest, I do believe the painful sex symptom is what pushed me into getting my problem fixed, into working out what was wrong with my body because not only was I doing it for me and fixing it for me, which is obviously the main reason, I was also trying to do it for Tommy.
“I feel like the painful periods and the painful sex have been two different journeys.”
The Love Island star, who met Tommy during her time on the show in 2019, went on to explain that while her surgery has helped with her periods, it has done little to help with her sex life – and she is getting further specialist help for the problem.

Speaking in her latest video, she said: “In regards to the painful sex, that unfortunately never changed, it is something that is an ongoing issues.
“I had a blood test and MRI scan because I am going to see a specialist in London in regards to that situation.”
The star added: “I couldn’t ask for a better boyfriend in regards to my endo journey. He has been so understanding and so caring.”
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb starts to grow in other parts of the body, including the ovaries and Fallopian tubes and can make periods agonising, heavier or irregular.

Elsewhere in the video, Molly said she was often in so much pain that she worried she would die.
“I have nearly called myself an ambulance because of the level of pain I was in. It got so bad, I would be rolling in bed and I would actually be fearful for my life, thinking for my body to be in this much agonising pain, what is it going through?,” she said.
“I literally used to lie there and think 'am I going to see tomorrow morning?'. I genuinely used to be in that much pain that I was fearful I wouldn’t wake up in the morning. It was so so horrendous.”

The operation has however made the situation more “manageable”, with Molly telling her fans: “In regards to my painful periods I would say the operation definitely helped, it has most definitely not cured me. I still do have very painful periods, I am still extremely heavy on my period.
“I would normally have to change tampons every 30 minutes. The painful periods and heavy periods haven’t completely gone away but they are more manageable.”
What is endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb starts to grow in other parts of the body, including the ovaries and Fallopian tubes.
So what causes the condition that so many women suffers from?
The exact cause of the condition isn't known, but it's thought it could be hereditary or due to environmental factors - namely the presence of dioxins in the environment.
Meanwhile, other experts believe it could be caused by a process called retrograde menstruation, which is when the womb lining flows backwards through the Fallopian tubes into the abdomen, instead of leaving the body as a period.
Endometriosis can sometimes cause damage to the Fallopian tubes or ovaries, leading to fertility problems.
Other complications can include painful ovarian cysts and adhesions - areas of tissue which can fuse organs together.
