About Painful Intercourse
It may not be something you want to admit to or talk about, but pain during intercourse is extremely common among women. The medical term is dyspareunia, defined as persistent or recurrent pain that occurs just before, during, or after intercourse. Causes can include a drop in estrogen levels after menopause or childbirth or during breast-feeding; medications that affect sexual desire or arousal, which can decrease lubrication and make sex painful; injury, trauma or irritation; inflammation, infection or skin disorder; vaginal muscle spasms; certain diseases; or a congenital abnormality.
