It is estimated that one in every five to six women {16 to 20 percent} have had or will have sexual pain at some point in their lives.
Roughly 10% to 20% of women report experiencing persistent pain during intercourse at some point in their lives. Additionally, studies have shown that up to 75% of women experience painful sex at least once.
Possible Causes for Pain
Hormone changes {lack of estrogen} in women
Thinning of vulvar and/or vaginal tissues due to medications, cancer treatments, hormone therapy, etc.
Yeast infections
UTI (urinary tract infection)
STIs {sexual transmitted infections}
Personal lubricants – some lubricants can mess with your body’s pH, actually dry out your skin/membranes, and cause yeast infections!
Lack of using lube altogether
Breastfeeding
Emotional pain/trauma
Anxiety
Stress
If you have been experiencing pain associated with sex, please address your concerns with your doctor to rule out any underlying physical condition. I also suggest seeking help from a certified sex therapist who has been trained and educated to help individuals who are struggling with this specific concern.
Bottom line: painful sex is not normal, but it is not uncommon. You are not alone. There is help. You have options.
Book I recommend that talk about painful sex:
