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.

At Forum Health, we work to address the root cause of your pain. Through a thorough discussion of your symptoms and a complete history combined with advanced testing, our practitioners take a multi-pronged approach healing and balance, physically and psychologically, so you can have the full, joyous sex life you deserve.

Hear From Our Patients

For most of my life, I was told I needed all these different doctors with different specialties to figure out what was happening in my body. What I really needed was a functional doctor who listened and treated me as a whole person with connected systems. With the support of my Forum Health care team, I’m slowly but surely reversing my severe eczema, hypothyroidism, allergies, and chronic fatigue.

My parents, myself, and my children have been patients of Dr. Peterson for several years. He is an amazing doctor! The amount of time that he spend talking with us about our medical history and ALL of our symptoms was kind of shocking at first. He is incredibly thorough, both in talking to us as patients and in the testing that he does. I have been so impressed with the progress we have made because of his willingness to do testing.

After I had my daughter, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s. I felt awful at the time. I was exhausted, bloated, had trouble concentrating, had heart palpitations, dizzy spells, and generally felt like I was carrying a backpack of bricks with me all day, every day. When I came to Dr. Taylor’s office he implemented a thorough and detailed plan for me...

Amazing doctors that actually listen and care about your health!

... Not only am I feeling better first the first time in years, but I’m finally losing weight and inches in a healthy, sustainable way! They’ve helped me to heal my gut and we are taking my PCOS on head on - it’s amazing and something that conventional medicine has been spinning their wheels with for years! I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me and know that I am a client for life!
