Feeling Intense Pain During S*x? This Might Be the Reason

 

The reason why some women feel intense pain during s*x has been explained. For some women, pain during s*x is common and easily fixed by either changing positions or using lubrication during s*x. However, when it goes beyond that, something is really wrong.

 

If the pain continues or gets worse, it may be a sign that something is wrong internally. For instance, physicians say, deep pain during s*x can be a symptom of endometriosis, while a sudden, sharp pain during s*x 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 s*x painful.

 

If the pain is more of a burning or stabbing around the opening of the v*gina, 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.
