A medical student who cried and vomited after sex was in so much pain she thought she would die.
Olivia Charlton, a fourth year student at the University of Liverpool, was 13 when she first experienced "absolutely horrific period pain" that kept her off school, "writhing around in bed". She thought "it was normal" and the pain went away in her later teens.
But while pain during her periods stopped, in the last four years Olivia has experienced "horrifically painful" sex. She told the ECHO: "I'd be in agony. We're talking me being on the toilet, crying and crying and crying, sweating, vomiting in the sink, just in a horrific place honestly thinking I was actually going to die at one point, the pain was so immense.
