When a woman experiences pain during intercourse, one of the most common reasons is simply vaginal dryness – a condition that is easily treated with lubricants and other measures. Other possible causes of pain during sex include vaginal infections as well as vaginismus (painful contractions of the vaginal muscles), symptomatic uterine fibroids, menopause, ectopic pregnancy, STDs and ovarian cysts. Each of these conditions can be treated effectively, usually with medications and minimally invasive medical procedures, so talk to your primary physician, gynecologist, urologist or urogynecologist about any kind of pain you may be experiencing during intercourse.
