Painful Intercourse

Painful intercourse—also known as dyspareunia—can affect women at any stage of life. It may feel like burning, tightness, stinging or deep pain during or after intimacy. Causes can be physical, emotional, hormonal or a combination of factors, and it’s often linked to pelvic floor muscle overactivity, scar tissue, vaginal dryness, or past trauma.

This kind of pain can impact not just physical comfort, but also emotional wellbeing, confidence and relationships. It’s important to know you’re not alone—and that pain with intimacy is not something you have to accept.
