Causes of vaginal pain during sex

In fact, for some female friends, their bodies are weaker than those of some male friends. Therefore, once bacteria enter the body, it may cause complications and even cause vaginal pain during sexual intercourse. Let us now understand the causes of vaginal pain during sexual intercourse.

main reason:

Organic causes Gynecological inflammation is one of the main causes of sexual intercourse pain, including vulvitis, vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Vulvitis and the ulcers it causes on the labia majora, labia minora and vestibule of the vagina can cause severe pain during sexual intercourse, with the pain located in the vulva and vestibule. Acute and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease often causes deep pelvic pain and lower abdominal pain due to sexual intercourse. The severity of the inflammation varies, and the degree and duration of pain also vary. Dyspareunia caused by atrophic vaginitis is the most common. Women entering perimenopause, postmenopause, or undergoing surgery to remove both ovaries, or taking drugs [such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GNRH-a)] that cause a decrease or deficiency in estrogen levels in the body can all develop atrophic vaginitis. The vaginal epithelium becomes thinner, wrinkles decrease and disappear, elasticity decreases, the vaginal expansion ability is insufficient, and the lubrication effect decreases, all of which can cause pain in the vaginal opening, vaginal canal, and even lower abdomen during sexual intercourse. Ovarian dysfunction, vaginal fibrosis and narrowing caused by radiotherapy can also cause pain and difficulty in sexual intercourse. In 1974, Abitbol from the United States reported 75 patients with cervical cancer who received radiotherapy alone. Among them, 39% experienced pain and difficulty in sexual intercourse after radiotherapy.

In the middle and late stages of chronic vulvar malnutrition and vulvar leukoplakia, the local skin atrophies and becomes thinner, and its elasticity decreases or disappears. During sexual intercourse, unavoidable, stubborn, and severe pain often occurs. Superficial fissures often occur below the vaginal opening and at the upper end of the perineum after sexual intercourse or just after contact with the vaginal opening. The fissures are extremely painful to the touch and heal slowly, leading to refusal to have sexual intercourse or long-term cessation of sexual life. Chronic vulvar dystrophy is one of the important causes of dyspareunia.

Behcet's syndrome (Behcet's disease) is an autoimmune disease characterized by oral, corneal, and vulvar ulcers. Vulvar ulcers last for a long time and are often complicated by infection. They can cause severe pain in the labia majora during sexual intercourse.

Congenitally thickened and tough hymen or postpartum or abnormal healing of perineal lacerations after trauma, and large scars can also cause pain during sexual intercourse. After total hysterectomy, the vaginal stump does not heal well and the scar is hard, which may also cause deep vaginal impact pain in the short period after surgery.

Endometriosis is a common cause of dyspareunia during sexual intercourse. It is mainly caused by the presence of tumors and thickening of nodules in the bilateral uterosacral ligaments, which reduces their elasticity. This manifests as deep pelvic pain with varying durations. Patients often avoid sexual intercourse or deep penetration.

Acute or chronic urethritis or chronic urethritis in the elderly after menopause can cause repeated pain in the urethra and lower abdomen during sexual intercourse, which often persists and cannot be cured for a long time, affecting health.

Pelvic congestion syndrome is mainly caused by varicose vein congestion in the broad ligament. The pain during sexual intercourse is diffuse and continuous dull pain deep in the pelvis. Diabetes and lower limb bone diseases may also be accompanied by pain during sexual intercourse.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the causes of vaginal pain during sexual intercourse. I believe that everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding, so you still have to pay attention to your own hygiene in normal times, so as to prevent bacteria from entering the body.
