Home Dyspareunia or Pain during Intercourse As it is well known, during sexual intercourse, two sex organs are involved - the male's penis and the woman's vagina. The vagina, which is an external genital organ, is a tubular muscular structure about three inches long. It is capable of contraction and relaxation at will of the woman. At its entrance are two lips or labia, which close the entrance. In a young girl a delicate skin fold known as hymen is found in the vagina at its entrance. It may have a small hole. In women having normal sexual relation, the hymen is absent. Causes of Dyspareunia The pain of dyspareunia as suffered by a woman may have various causative factors. Most of them can be detected early and treated successfully resulting into a normal, enjoyable sexual intercourse. Certain congenital defects (defects that a person is born with) in vagina may obstruct the penetration of penis causing pain. The defects are easily detected and if needed surgically corrected. The labia may be fused because of congenital anomaly or scarring following infection of labia. Surgical separation is possible in such a case. Also, an intact hymen causing dyspareunia can be excised.

Buttpillow... Just Sit On it! What is dyspareunia? Genital pain before, during, and/or after intercourse. It may affect up to 2/3 of all women. The medical literature does not estimate the number of men with this condition. Men with this condition, please read the next section. On the humorous side, it has been said that: "Dyspareunia is better than no pareunia.” Dyspareunia (difficult mating) is defined as genital pain that occurs before, during, or after intercourse. This is not a well-understood condition. It can be life-long or acquired (2). Dyspareunia is a common sexual problem. Some sources estimate dyspareunia occurs in two thirds of all women (2). One study concluded dyspareunia is common and usually appears in young women at the beginning of their sex lives. The fact that medical professionals are often not aware of this syndrome can cause patients much frustration and misery (1). The medical literature does not quantify the number of men faced with this problem. Many people discuss pain with their sexual partner; most people do not seek the advice of a physician.

(Name of the article). Available at www.womentc.com. Last accessed (today's date). Dyspareunia Dyspareunia (dys*pa*reu*nia) means difficult or painful sexual intercourse. Although the condition is present in both sexes, it is far more common in women, where it is being described as pain with initial penetration, during thrusting, or after intercourse. I never understood why tampons were so painful when everyone can use them just fine . . . Intercourse? I expected pain the first time, but it keeps being painful every time, from the moment he begins to penetrate until he is done. Although we have two kids, I am reluctant to engage in intercourse and still cannot use tampons. Gynecologic exams are also painful, and the doctor does not know what is the problem. Vaginismus and Dyspareunia Book Dyspareunia may develop because of: Medical causes , such as vaginal infections, sexually transmitted diseases, skin conditions, hormonal problems, conditions of the intestines or genitals or urinary system, etc.

The causes of dyspareunia vary widely, and include, but are not limited to, infection, an abnormally positioned uterus, muscle spasms in the vagina, preexisting disorders of the reproductive system, and emotional distress from prior sexual trauma or abuse. The pain, depending on its cause, can range from mild to intense, and women who suffer from dyspareunia regularly can find it very distressing, because of both the physical discomfort and the impact on their intimate lives. Detailed Description Dyspareunia may arise from a broad range of underlying problems. If dyspareunia involves the vaginal tissue and entrance of the vagina, it could be cause by vaginal dryness due to lack of arousal, side effects of medication (allergy, high blood pressure, anti-depressant medications are most often to blame), or menopause and the friction of intercourse. Other common causes of this type of dyspareunia include allergic reactions to laundry detergents, soaps, or other topical products such as spermicides. Bacterial or fungal infections that irritate vaginal tissue can also be to blame, as can STDs such as herpes and genital warts. Another potential cause of this type of dyspareunia can be a condition called vulvodynia, in which the vulva are tender and hypersensitive to touch.
