Sexual activity is a part of our lives and plays an important role. We must take it seriously, but there are also abnormal situations. Among them, female sexual pain is one of them, and attention must be paid to the causes and treatment methods.
Types of Dyspareunia in Women
1. Vaginal pain during sexual intercourse
During sexual intercourse, women should first determine the location of vaginal pain. There is a crack or vestibular adenitis at the Vaginal orifice, and Vaginitis, pelvic inflammation or Endometriosis are in deep pain. The gynecological diseases such as Vaginitis, pelvic inflammation and Endometriosis must be paid attention to.
2. Pelvic congestion during sexual intercourse
When women are Sexual arousal, a large amount of blood flows into the pelvic tissue to form a hyperemic state. If Orgasm is not reached, the pelvic congestion will gradually disappear. About 10% of people feel discomfort such as bloating in their lower abdomen, pain in the lower back, and others experience menstrual pain.
3. Neck pain during sexual intercourse
Sudden neck pain during sexual activity is usually caused by improper sexual posture. For example, some people enjoy having their heads in bed during sexual activity, experiencing discomfort in body parts, stiff neck muscles, or traction pain.
4. Allergic pain during sexual activity
Sexual allergic pain is caused by sexual allergies. Dr. Debbie Winner, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at New York University Grossman School of Medicine, diagnosed several cases of sexual life allergy. Most of the allergies were caused by the incompatibility of double latex (the basic raw material of condoms) and other contraceptives and drugs. Women often felt vaginal tingling and heat.
Causes of female Dyspareunia
1. Hormonal disorders. Hormone changes during menopause and lactation are common causes of Dyspareunia. After amenorrhea, due to the decrease of estrogen level, the vaginal wall becomes thinner, the elasticity decreases, and the lubrication performance also decreases. During the lactation period when Dyspareunia occurs, the hormone that promotes milk production also reduces the estrogen level in the body, and the vagina is dry. The use of vaginal lubricant can help women in these two periods to reduce Dyspareunia.
2. Infection. Infection usually leads to increased secretion, unpleasant odors, and painful urination. However, the initial symptom of infection is often Dyspareunia. Vaginal infections can reduce lubrication and cause pain during or after sexual intercourse. Common infections include yeast infections and trichomoniasis. Deep pain may be due to bladder infection. The disease infection of sexual behavior infection is another disaster of Dyspareunia. For example, abdominal pain during sexual intercourse may be a symptom of chlamydia infection. This is a sexually transmitted disease that is difficult to detect and can sometimes be hidden for 5-10 years. If not treated, it will cause pelvic infectious diseases, and sexual intercourse will be more painful. Once confirmed, most infections can be treated by taking antibiotics or using antibacterial coatings.
