Why does sex pain?

Hi, I'm newly married and lately, sex has been feeling really painful sometimes. My friend said it's normal but I'm worried if something is wrong. Is there a reason this happens?

Pain during sex, called dyspareunia, can have many causes, from dryness to infections, or even deeper issues like endometriosis or fibroids. I experienced persistent pain once and it turned out to be a minor infection that needed treatment. It's really important not to ignore it and see a doctor or gynaecologist. Don't suffer in silence.

There are so many reasons this can happen, from not enough lubrication to actual medical conditions. If you're experiencing pain, the best thing to do is consult a gynaecologist. Go to a good hospital, be clear about your symptoms, and ask all your questions. They can properly diagnose and help you.

It's completely normal to feel concerned if you're experiencing pain during sex, and please know you're not alone. It can be quite distressing. Many factors, both physical and psychological, can contribute to it. Don't blame yourself, and definitely don't be shy about seeking professional medical advice. Your comfort matters.

Could be anything from just not enough lube, to like, some underlying issue, no? I've heard sometimes it can be because of STIs or even just stress affecting things. But if it's constant, definitely better to get it checked out by a doctor rather than guessing.

Pain can occur for so many reasons, and it's important to rule out medical conditions. With PCOS, hormonal imbalances can sometimes lead to dryness, which can cause discomfort. But it's not always PCOS; it could be infections, cysts, or just not enough foreplay. Please talk to a doctor about it without hesitation.
