Painful intercourse can be soul destroying and have devastating
consequences on relationships. This is one of those ‘taboo’ subjects that isn’t
spoken about due to embarrassment, and the feeling like you are the only one it
happens to. Well stop right there. You are not. Dyspareunia is more common than
you think, and luckily can be resolved. Mainly it happens to women but it can
also happen to men.
What is the feeling of dyspareunia?
Some women say it is like hot needles, others say it feels like
their genitals are being ripped apart. Some have a stabbing sensation.
Cause
This is a difficult one to pin down as there can be several
reasons. When you visit your doctor he/she will probably ask if the pain is
deep or superficial. This may be difficult for you to determine.
Vaginismus can be deep and superficial pain. It is not uncommon for
women to be diagnosed this. During or just before penetration the psychological
side of things take over and due to the fear of being hurt the vaginal
muscles involuntarily contract and spasm making sex very painful. Many
women put up with the pain for years and thing they can’t be cured. It can get
so bad with some women that they do not use tampons, can not have full
penetration and even more reason to go and see a doctor about this is that some
women refuse to have a smear test because of the fear of pain.
The psychological side of causes
- Women who have been raped.
- Childhood sexual abuse.
- Women who have had STD’s
- Continuous vaginal or urinal
infections
- Women who are from backgrounds
where sex was viewed as something dirty.
- Women who don’t feel relaxed with
their partner
Other factors which may cause dyspareunia
- Pelvic inflammatory Disease (PID) is an infection which is
increasing due to women contracting Chlamydia. This causes the soft
tissue inside the vagina to become irritated and inflamed, causing
deep pain during intercourse.
- Childbirth, after delivery especially if it
was a particularly difficult child-birth, the last thing a woman wants is
to be ‘banged’ inside, and therefore the woman tenses up, the longer it is
left untreated the more chance dyspareunia becomes a part of life.
- Surgery which involves penetration of the
vagina, such as urology surgery prolapse. Many women feel that even though
they have had a sling fitted to lift the bladder and support the urethra
they are afraid of damaging any part of the surgery. Being incontinent is
bad enough, and many women think that if they have sex they may become
incontinent again. Don’t be afraid, this won’t happen relax with your
partner and take it one step at a time.
- Cervical problems. If there is an infection on the
cervix, and the cervix is low bearing, the tip of the penis will actually
touch the cervix during deep penetration and cause tenderness to the
cervix, causing pain.
- Fibroids
- Endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition
where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrial stroma
and glands, which should only be located inside the uterus) is found
elsewhere in the body. Endometriosis lesions can be found anywhere in the
pelvic cavity: on the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, and on the pelvic
sidewall. Other common sites include the uterosacral ligaments, the
cul-de-sac, the Pouch of Douglas, and in the rectal-vaginal septum. This
can cause immense pain during intercourse.
- Ovarian cysts.
- Dry Vagina. This could be due to hormone
changes.
Many women who are able to speak to their partner are able to
still enjoy a fully enjoyable ’sex life’ without the ’sex’. Orgasms can be
reached without penetration and women who suffer dyspareunia usually enjoy a
longer fully satisfying foreplay.
Specialists at the Institute of Psychosexual Medicine have
a lot of experience in treating vaginismus.
Regardless of the cause, it is important to realise you are not alone;
it is far more common than you can imagine. More importantly is for you to seek
medical assistance. You do need to speak to a doctor who is qualified in this
area of medicine.
