Pain during sex

May 17, 2008

Is there Pain during sex? For experimentally delivered somatic stimuli, females have lower thresholds, greater ability to discriminate, higher pain ratings, and less tolerance of noxious stimuli than males. These differences, however, are small, exist only for certain forms of stimulation and are affected by many situational variables such as presence of disease, experimental setting, and even nutritive status.

For endogenous Pain during sex, women report more multiple pains in more body regions than men. With no obvious underlying rationale, some painful diseases are more prevalent among females; others among males and, for many diseases, symptoms differ between females and males. Sex differences in attitudes exist that affect not only reporting, coping, and responses to treatment, but also measurement and treatment.

It is important to look at the problem Pain during sex from different points of view. There may be a biological cause. This may be a sexually transmitted disease, a vaginal infection, and a disorder of the uterus or the large intestine, an infection of the vaginal mucous membrane, a snip or a tear during childbirth and insufficient lubrication of the vagina. For Pain during sex for men, they may have infections on skin anomalies to the penis, infections of the glans and the foreskin due to fungi or bacteria, a tight foreskin, prostatitis, or a low testosterone level (hormones). In women, vestibulit (an inflammation in the vagina) can be a cause of sex pain.

A psychological cause of pain during sex doesn’t mean it isn’t “real”. Often people think that psychological cause is like saying “it’s all in your head, just get over it”. Psychological causes of Pain during sex still result in very real pain, and very rarely can someone just “get over” a psychological reason for pain during sex. For both men and women there are a variety of reasons why our minds may play a role in sex being painful.

If you’re breastfeeding or approaching menopause, your Pain during sex may be due to hormonal changes.

New moms may want to use a drugstore lubricant until their estrogen levels return to normal when they stop breastfeeding. Older women with Pain during sex may consider going on hormone replacement therapy or using an estrogen cream.
