How to reduce pain during intercourse home remedies?

Vaginal dryness or lack of arousal is a very common cause of pain. You can try using a simple, hypoallergenic water-based lubricant to see if it helps. However, if the pain is deep or accompanied by burning or unusual discharge, please see a gynecologist to rule out infections.

Doing regular pelvic floor relaxation exercises, like reverse Kegels, can help release deep-seated muscle tension. If your gynecologist allows, try light pelvic stretches daily to improve flexibility and comfort. Just make sure to stop if anything hurts.

Having PCOS often causes hormonal dryness for me, which used to make intercourse quite painful. Using a pH-balanced lubricant and slowing down the process really helped us. But since pelvic pain can also be due to cysts, I always recommend getting a routine pelvic scan done.

Please know that painful intercourse is not something you just have to tolerate. Using a good water-based lube and communicating clearly with your partner can help a lot.
