I have discussed this with a few doctors now (a counselor, my primary physician, and a couple of nurse practitioners). One time was after an examination (a papsmear). She claimed she has seen nothing wrong with me. The others said it was due to bipolar. And some claim it's a problem many women have.
If it's medical, that would just be even worse. There would probably be no hope.
You have been talking with irresponsible medical practitioners and counselors. Or you aren't listening well.
It's probably true that there's nothing wrong with you gynecologically, but it would take more attention than a pap smear to be sure. Maybe, for instance, something is throwing your hormones off. Are your cycles regular? faint?
If it's true that it is related to being bipolar, do they mean it's the drugs or the condition? I've never heard of a psychiatric condition that makes orgasm impossible.
If it's from the meds, they should be willing to work with you to help you figure out a better way. Possibilities could include: changing meds, taking something else, learning techniques, etc. If it's due to the meds, they should have some way to address it.
And if it's medical, that doesn't at all mean it would be hopeless. There are many treatable conditions that create problems.
I say this because I have struggled for many years to get my depression meds right so that I can stay on them and still have orgasms. It is DEFINITELY worth the time and effort. Don't give up, and don't let the docs give up, either. It is a reasonable expectation, even a right, to expect to have this part of your life be taken seriously.
Hang in there, and good luck!
