Pain during sex

Published by

I am a 23-years-old lady. Every time my husband and I see each other, I have pains. Even though I do not see any blood, I still feel very worried. Kindly help me.

Intercourse pain, or dyspareunia, can cause problems in a couple’s sexual relationship. In addition to the physically painful sex, there is also the possibility of negative emotional effects. In many cases, a woman can experience painful sex if there is insufficient vaginal lubrication. When this occurs, the pain can be resolved if the female becomes more relaxed, if the amount of foreplay is increased, or if the couple uses a sexual lubricant. Other causes of pain during sex are those related to infection, problems with the uterus and its opening as well as the ovaries. In your own case, you and your husband should engage in a longer foreplay in order to improve the situation. If this fails, you may then need to see a doctor for a thorough investigation.
