For women, vaginal penetration that you desire shouldn’t hurt, yet sometimes discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse or penetration may occur. Your pelvic floor plays a major role in sexual functioning. For instance, if you have vulvar pain or post-ejaculatory pain, you’ll understandably develop hesitation around sex. For some patients, their symptoms might even make sex all but impossible.

Sexual Pelvic Pain Disorders

  • Dyspareunia: Pain during sexual intercourse at sexual entry (penetration) or deep pain during shearing.
  • Vaginismus: Involuntary tightening of the vagina. Often during intercourse, gynecological exam, or when inserting tampons. Often caused by muscle spasms.
  • Vulvodynia: Chronic pain or discomfort around the opening of your vagina (vulva).
  • Endometriosis: Disorder in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus and may require surgical intervention.
  • Genito-urinary symptoms of menopause: Changes that occur with or after menopause (natural or induced) that can affect the vagina, vulva, urethra, and bladder.
