Why does intercourse hurt?

Sometimes there will be some unpleasant episodes during the happiest moments, such as insufficient foreplay, one party’s low mood, or sudden leg cramps during the process. Have you ever encountered these? The pain during sex is sometimes difficult to tell others, so when this pain comes, do you choose to remain silent to your lover or tell him/her the truth? How to solve it properly? Why does sex become painful for couples?

If a woman experiences pain in her vagina during sexual intercourse, the location should be determined first. If it is at the vulva, it may be due to fissure or Bartholin's glands, so it is a bit painful; if it is superficial pain, it may be vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. For gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis, special attention and concern must be paid.

The pain during sexual intercourse should not be underestimated. In addition to paying attention to cultivating good personal living habits in daily life, you should also go to the hospital for a gynecological examination as soon as possible according to your own different conditions. Only after further diagnosis can you get symptomatic treatment. In this way, you can eliminate the pain and take care of your body in time.

2. Allergic pain during sexual intercourse

Sexual allergy pain is caused by sexual intercourse skin allergy. Dr. Deborah Winer, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the New York University School of Medicine, diagnosed the allergy after having sex with a woman and stressed that the allergy is mostly caused by an intolerance to latex (the basic material of condoms) and other contraceptive products or medicines. Women often feel vaginal stinging and burning.

Therefore, this skin allergy is not really an allergy to sexual life itself. Once there is an allergic reaction, you can use tap water, wet towels, toilet paper to wipe or clean off the remaining liquid, cream, etc., and then take a warm bath. Ice can be applied to the vulva to relieve swelling. If necessary, you may want to take some over-the-counter antihistamines. If you feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, panic, joint pain, swelling, or if you have rashes or hives anywhere on your body, go to the hospital immediately.

3. Headache after climax

Most of the headaches during sexual intercourse occur after climax, which can be divided into mild pain and migraine. The proportion of headaches caused by sexual intercourse between couples is lower for women than for men. It is generally caused by four reasons. One is that the couple has a poor sex life, such as frequent and prolonged sex, which causes the body to overwork and lead to headaches. The second is that the environment is not suitable, for example, the air in the room is not circulating, and the environment outside is too noisy, which makes people feel uneasy. The third is a sudden change in posture, such as suddenly changing from lying down to sitting during sexual intercourse, or standing up immediately after sexual intercourse, because the sudden change in posture leads to hypotension. The fourth is caused by negative emotions, which mostly happen to women. When they are in a bad mood and have sex, their self-awareness cannot be taken into consideration.
