Why does sex hurt?

Pain during sexual intercourse usually occurs when women feel varying degrees of pain in their pubic area or inside the vagina after sexual intercourse, which can be divided into superficial pain and deep pain. But why does pain during sexual intercourse occur? Let me introduce it below.

1. Burning sensation caused by various inflammations

Vaginitis or vulvitis caused by bacterial, fungal or Trichomonas infection will cause local congestion and swelling to varying degrees. The stimulation of inflammation will cause the sensory nerves to become sensitive, leading to burning pain in the vulva.

In this case, the pain will inevitably increase during sexual stimulation. Patients with endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease will also experience pain during sexual intercourse due to the impact on their uterus. Urinary tract infection is a common disease among married women, with dysuria and hematuria as the main symptoms. Because the urethra and vagina are adjacent, sexual intercourse may also cause burning pain in the urethra.

2. Irritation pain caused by morphological changes

Vaginal damage caused by childbirth, or the placement of corrosive drugs in the vagina to treat certain "women's diseases" or abortions, which can cause local ulcers, vaginal adhesions or scar stenosis, or local hypertrophy left over after inflammation is cured, can all cause the vaginal lumen to narrow and its elasticity to decrease. This will cause constant pain during sexual intercourse.

3. Vaginal dryness and pain

When women suffer from vaginitis and diabetes, their vaginas lack sufficient lubrication and become dry. When the penis is forcibly inserted, they will experience unbearable pain.

4. Husband’s rough sexual intercourse causes cramps and pain

Men's sexual desire appears quickly, while women's sexual desire appears slowly. In order to make the sex life harmonious, the man must flirt patiently and do a good job of caressing before sexual intercourse in order to try to arouse the woman's sexual desire. When sexual excitement appears in the woman's brain, the secretions in her vagina will increase accordingly. During this kind of sexual intercourse, both parties will feel wonderful pleasure.
