Vaginismus
Vaginismus involves involuntary spasms of the vagina in response to pressure or contact. This often occurs during sexual intercourse.
Yeast Infections
Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of the normal yeast fungi that live in the vagina. These infections can cause a significant amount of itching, pain, and burning, especially during sex.
Menopause
Women may experience painful intercourse while going through menopause. This is due to the fact that the vagina produces less moisture, which causes dryness and irritation during sex.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Pelvic inflammatory disease, or PID, is a serious condition caused by untreated STDs. PID causes the vaginal tissues to become severely inflamed, which leads to excruciating pain during sex.
Cervix Problems
Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. This may lead to abdominal pain, infertility, heavy periods and discomfort during sex.
STDs. From herpes to HPV, pretty much any and every sexually transmitted disease can result in painful intercourse.
