Dyspareunia: pain during sex & intercourse! Posted: 02-05-07 06:34am
Since receiving the above treatment, I
have had thrush and extreme pain while
having intercourse, after say 3-5 minutes,
My colposcopy nurse has advised maybe I am
not relaxed, but I have tried many ways to
relax during, But still no luck, as I
don't think that is what the problem is?
As I more than relaxed.
I have had a number of problems regarding
this treatment, But do you think theres
any reason why I cant have intercourse
without the pain?

Painful intercourse (dyspareunia) can be
due to many causes:
1. Not enough excitement for the woman.
Thisis the most common reason for painful
sex but after wetness and relaxation, the
pain disappears;
2. Vaginal atrophy in older women which
makes the vagina not-elastic;
3. Congenital anomalies of the vagina;
4. Big vaginal tumors;
5. Adhesions and strictures after
operations and infections;
6. Lesions of the vulva and vaginal
entrance (painful scars, infections,
fistulas, hemorrhoids, urethral
disorders…);
7. Inflammations of the uterus, tubes and
surrounding tissues;
8. Retroverted uterus;
9. Endometriosis of the sacro-uterine
ligaments;
10. Spasms of the rectum, and
11. Psychogenic reasons.
In your case, you didn’t report me the
result from the biopsy so I can’t tell
you if there could be any organic reasons
why you may be experiencing dyspareunia.
For follow up, you can ask your
gynecologist to help you determine and
diagnose other possible causes.
