Painful Sexual intercourse - Dyspareunia
Painful Sexual intercourse is called dyspareunia. For both men
and women, pain can occur in the pelvic area during or soon after sexual
intercourse. It can happen at any time during sex - for example, at the time of
penetration, erection, or ejaculation. Eventually, if pain from intercourse is
ongoing, you could lose interest in any sexual activity.
Common Causes- Intercourse too soon
after surgery or child birth

inadequate lubrication (for example, from insufficient foreplay)

lining loses its normal moisture and becomes dry)

a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus
(endometrium) grows in other areas of the body, causing pain, irregular

Home Care
For painful intercourse in women after pregnancy:
- Wait at least 6 weeks
after childbirth before resuming sexual relations.
- Be gentle and
patient.
Sex therapy is more helpful,
especially if no underlying medical cause is identified. Guilt, inner conflict,
or unresolved feelings about past abuse may be involved which need to be worked
through in therapy. It may be best for your partner to see the therapist with
you.
