Painful Intercourse
Painful intercourse, medically known as dyspareunia, is a common but often overlooked condition that affects many women. It can cause both physical discomfort and emotional distress, leading to a strained relationship and reduced quality of life. If you are experiencing pain during intimacy, it’s essential to consult an expert for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Common Causes of Painful Intercourse
Several factors can contribute to pain during sexual intercourse, including:
✔ Vaginal Dryness – Often caused by hormonal changes, menopause, or breastfeeding, leading to insufficient lubrication.
✔ Infections & Inflammation – Yeast infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can cause pain and discomfort.
✔ Endometriosis – A condition where endometrial tissue grows outside the uterus, causing deep pain during intercourse.
✔ Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – An infection in the reproductive organs that can lead to chronic pelvic pain.
✔ Fibroids or Ovarian Cysts – Growths in the uterus or ovaries can cause pressure and pain.
✔ Vaginismus – Involuntary tightening of vaginal muscles, making penetration difficult or painful.
✔ Postpartum & Menopause Changes – Hormonal fluctuations after childbirth or during menopause can cause tissue thinning and discomfort.
