Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have been experiencing painful sex.

Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Painful sex can be due to the following reasons:

1. Dryness due to infection, improper foreplay, dehydration, age factor, and hormonal imbalance. You can try the natural way by increasing foreplay, which can cause lubrication, or you can use lubricants.

2. Injury due to dryness can be due to deep penetration in a few positions during sex.

3. Local infection.

4. Vaginismus.

5. Congenital abnormality.

6. History of surgery in the genital region.

7. Injury of the cervix by the penis.

8. Fibroids.

9. Recent childbirth.

Kindly share more details regarding the above issue so we can work on diagnosis and management.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
