What causes pain during sex?

Pain during sex can be due to vaginal infections, pelvic inflammatory disease, or even cysts. Check if you also have unusual discharge or itching, as that points to an infection that needs simple antibiotics.

Many times, stress and mental tension make our pelvic muscles very tight, leading to pain. Practicing daily deep breathing and gentle stretching can help relax the body naturally.

I was researching this and found out that hormonal changes, especially after stopping pills, can also cause dryness and pain. It is definitely something to discuss openly with your doctor.

Please don't try self-treating this with random herbal washes or internet advice. Pain can indicate deeper issues like endometriosis or cervical infections, so get a proper clinical examination.

I had severe pain for weeks and was terrified that something was seriously wrong with me. Turns out it was just a simple bacterial infection that went away with a 5-day treatment, so please don't panic.

Let's be direct: it is usually a medical issue like vaginismus, low lubrication, or a UTI. There is absolutely no need to feel embarrassed about it, just consult a gynaecologist.

I recently recovered from painful intercourse which was caused by a pelvic infection my doctor diagnosed. Once we completed the medication, the pain vanished, so please get a checkup done.
