Answer: Hello Thank you for using Wellvis Sorry about your issue

A couple of things could cause painful sex 

It could be that your vagina isnt properly lubricated This causes bruising and injuries leading to pain 

The force of penetration could also be an issue The more the force the more painful it is 

Also there could be some previous injuries you sustained which have not healed and they get bruised during penetration 

Theres also something called vaginismus Its a condition where there is constant and excessive contraction of the vaginal muscles during sex 

But you can only be diagnosed after proper examination so I advise you to see a gynecologist who will examine and treat you

Hope this helps

Answer: Hi 

What you have described is what is called dyspareunia pains during sexual intercourse  For some women the pain is only a temporary problem for others it is a longterm problem

To better understand this condition you have to provide answers to certain personal questions such as age sexual history and habits any history of sexual violence etc This will help to narrow the possible cause and subsequent management protocols 

Oftentimes the pain results from inadequate vaginal lubrication firing sex which is often resolved when the woman becomes more relaxed when sufficient amount of foreplay is introduced or if the couple uses a lubricant

Other reasons for painful sex may include one or more of the following 

1 Vaginismus which is the involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles usually due to a underlying fear 
2 Vaginal infections such as yeast infections may also result in intermittent sexual pains 
3 Cervical uterus and ovarian changes or deformities such as cysts polyps and fibroids can lead to pain especially at deep penetration
4 Endometriosis
5 Pelvic inflammatory disease PID With PID the tissues deep inside become badly inflamed and the pressure of intercourse causes deep pain
6 During menopause the vaginal lining can lose its normal moisture and become dry 
7 Vulvodynia a chronic pain that affects a womans external sexual organs 

As stated earlier treatment is based on the identified cause Meanwhile make sure to practice gentleness and patience use sufficient amounts of waterbased lubricants

All symptoms including mood changes must be discussed with your physicianobstetriciangynaecologist as they can be help with diagnosis In some cases you might require sexual therapy and interventions to manage past sexual and non sexual traumas
