Feeling intense pain during sex? Something isn’t right!


For the average woman, pain during sex is rather common; and most of the time, it can be fixed by either changing positions or using lubrication during sex.

However, if the pain continues or gets worse, it may be a sign that something is wrong internally. For instance, physicians say, deep pain during sex can be a symptom of endometriosis, while a sudden, sharp pain during sex could be a ruptured ovarian cyst.

Again, doctors say, fibroid or cervicitis — that is the inflammation of the cervix caused by sexually transmitted disease or other infection can also make sex painful.

If the pain is more of a burning or stabbing around the opening of the vagina, it could signal a condition called vulvodynia (a chronic pain syndrome that affects the vulva area and occurs without an identifiable cause.)

If you sense pain during the insertion of penis into the vagina — or if you can’t even tolerate the insertion of anything into the vagina, it may be due to a condition called vaginismus (a painful spasmodic contraction of the vagina in response to physical contact or pressure, especially during sexual intercourse).

Some people experience vaginal swelling, itching, and/or pain after sex, especially if they use condom. If the pain only lasts for about 36 hours, you might just be allergic to latex.

If you have a latex allergy, you can use the polyurethane condom as an alternative and avoid this allergic painful reaction.

If the symptoms last longer than a day or two, or don’t go away after switching condoms, seeing your doctor will help you figure out if an underlying problem, such as vaginal infection, is responsible.
