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.

What is Dyspareunia Dyspareunia is a broad term referring to any recurrent genital pain with sexual intercourse. When a woman experiences pain, a cycle can develop in which the anticipation of pain causes physical tension that maintains or increases pain. Then avoidance begins — the woman avoids sex to avoid the pain. Possible causes of dypsareunia include functional medical , and psychological conditions. Functional Causes of Sexual Pain (Dyspareunia) " Functional" means that there is nothing structurally wrong with the organs. Functional causes of sexual pain and discomfort are often easily understood and treated. For example, if a woman is not sexually aroused, she may lack adequate vaginal lubrication. This can cause friction or burning that is uncomfortable. Often this pain disappears after the woman becomes aroused and lubricated. It is usually an indicator that more sex play is needed before intercourse is started. Some women may find that use of a lubricant makes genital contact more pleasurable. Others may feel fully aroused and yet have inadequate amounts of natural lubrication.

dyspareunia By Eva Martin, MD Dyspareunia is pain in the vagina when the penis is inserted during sexual intercourse. What is going on in the body? Pain during sexual intercourse can be upsetting. The cause of the pain may be hard to find. There might be physical and psychological causes. Physical causes may be within the female reproductive tract, including the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries and abdominal cavity. Some women may assume that sex will be painful. Or they might associate menstruation and childbirth with pain. Even when no physical causes are found and the pain is gone, the memory of the pain may persist. This can interfere with pleasure. The range of physical and psychological factors that prevent a woman from enjoying a sexual relationship should be considered. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? Dyspareunia may be divided into two categories, superficial and deep. Superficial means that there is immediate pain at the opening of the vagina when a man attempts to insert the penis. The most likely reasons for this are tears, infections or structural defects of the vulva or vagina. Deep dyspareunia means that there is pelvic pain or discomfort after penetration of the penis. This is usually associated with deep thrusting. The likely causes are abnormalities of the deeper structures of the vagina. Typical symptoms include:

Sexual Dysfunction In Women Topics [General] Sexual Arousal Disorder Female Orgasmic Disorder Dyspareunia ... Vaginismus Dyspareunia Painful coitus or attempted coitus. Etiology Dyspareunia is usually introital but may also occur before, during, or after intercourse. The cause may be psychologic factors or local trauma (eg, hymenal tears, laceration of the fourchette, bruising of the urethral meatus). After an injury, painful superficial ulcerations may develop. Other causes include inadequate lubrication, usually secondary to improper or insufficient foreplay; forceful pressure against a sensitive urethra during coitus; improper intromission; introital lesions due to inflammatory conditions (eg, vestibulitis); infections (eg, abscesses of Bartholin's glands or ducts); inflammation of labial sweat glands; irritation due to the use of improperly fitted or inadequately lubricated condoms; allergic reactions to the contents of contraceptive foams and jellies and condoms; abnormalities of the female genital tract (eg, congenital septum, a rigid hymen); and dermatologic disorders (eg, lichen sclerosis). The most common psychologic cause is vaginismus (see below). Acquired dyspareunia is unrelated to first coitus and often develops years later. Causes include menopausal involution with dryness and thinning of the mucosa, tight introitus secondary to perineorrhaphy after an episiotomy or plastic repair of the vagina, marked retroflexion of the uterus with ovaries prolapsed into the cul-de-sac, endometriosis, vaginitis, suburethral diverticulum, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Radiation therapy for malignancy may result in dyspareunia. Psychologic and related factors are similar to those involved in female orgasmic disorder (see above). Inadequate stimulation or psychologic inhibition of arousal may result in inadequate vaginal lubrication and cause coital pain.

PAINFUL INTERCOURSE (DYSPAREUNIA) Many women have had the experience of discomfort or pain with sexual intercourse. This can be felt as external or deep or both. The causes and solutions depend on the exact details. EXTERNAL (OR SUPERFICIAL) DYSPAREUNIA This type of discomfort usually feels like a burning sensation or a sensation of dryness, with too much friction. This most commonly occurs as a result of inadequate lubrication. The solution is more foreplay to increase arousal and natural lubrication and/or assisting nature by adding some lubrication. External dyspareunia can also be a sign of infection, most commonly a yeast infection. Persistence of this problem requires an evaluation by a gynecologist. When you go to the doctor, make sure you tell him or her exactly what's wrong. If you just go in for a regular check-up, you may not have the problem solved. DEEP DYSPAREUNIA Many women sometimes feel discomfort or pain with deep penetration. This may be a normal response to the pressure on sensitive internal parts. The obvious solution is to avoid deep penetration. Some common solutions include: Woman on top, controlling the depth of penetration

Vibrator Info Sexual Definitions Gift Certificates BDSM TOYS! ... LINKS Dyspareunia is the clinical name for painful intercourse. This condition can occur at any age, in both sexes, and the pain can appear at the start of intercourse, midway through, at the time of orgasm, or after intercourse is completed. The pain can be felt as burning, sharp, searing or cramping. It can be external, within the vagina, or deep in the pelvic region or abdomen. The causes of dyspareunia, as with most sexual dysfunction, can be classified as either organic (physical or medical factors such as illness, injury or drug effects) or psychosocial (including psychological, interpersonal, environmental and cultural factors). The cause of a sexual dysfunction in a given individual may be a combination of several factors, and in some cases, the precise cause may not be identifiable at all. Female dyspareunia can be caused by dozens of physical conditions. Any condition that results in poor vaginal lubrication can cause discomfort during intercourse. Among the more common culprits are drugs that have a drying effect (antihistamines, certain tranquilizers, marijuana) and disorders such as diabetes, vaginal infections, and estrogen deficiencies. Other causes of female dyspareunia include 1) blisters, rashes and inflammation around the vaginal opening or the vulva; 2) irritation or infection of the clitoris; 3) disorders of the vaginal opening, such as scarring from an episiotomy, intact
