Why do I have pain during sex?!
Question: Every time my husband and I get intimate, I have vaginal pain. I usually never hurt until have I have an orgasm. We always have to stop because the pain is too bad to continue on. This really upsets me because I know that my husband isn't getting to enjoy sex. Does anyone know why I could be doing this?

Pain during Sex - Five Common Causes
Almost every woman experiences discomfort during sex at some point in her life. But many suffer in silence for years because they're embarrassed to ask for help or because they've been told it's all in their heads. While sexual pain can be a symptom of stress, depression, or some other psychological problem, there are a number of physical conditions to rule out before heading for the therapist's couch. See if any of the following describes your problem.
Infection
Sometimes pain during sex is the first sign of an infection. Vaginal yeast and bacterial infections can reduce lubrication and irritate the opening of the vagina, and will usually be accompanied by itching or an unusual discharge or odor. A urinary tract infection will hurt most when you urinate but can also cause pain during sex because of the pressure on a tender, inflamed bladder. Abdominal pain with intercourse may be a symptom of the sexually transmitted disease chlamydia. Left untreated, chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, which causes inflammation and scarring that can make sex unbearable. Once diagnosed, most infections are easily treated with antibiotics or, in the case of yeast, antifungal creams or pills.
Endometriosis
About 5 million American women have this painful condition in which tissue from the lining of the uterus grows into areas outside of the uterus such as the vagina or pelvis where it becomes inflamed. More than half of these women report pain with intercourse. Endometriosis can usually be treated with drugs that temporarily suppress estrogen production or surgery to remove the wayward tissue. Birth control pills can also help. Using the woman-on-top position or limiting intercourse to the week or two after you menstruate may also minimize the discomfort.
Interstitial Cystitis
When you feel as if you have a urinary tract infection, but antibiotics won't make it go away, the problem is probably interstitial cystitis. Experts don't know what triggers this condition, in which your bladder becomes chronically inflamed, leading to severe pelvic pain that tends to worsen during sex. Like vulvodynia, this condition is difficult to diagnose and treat. Sufferers may find relief from one of a variety of treatments, such as the drug Elmiron, but no single therapy seems to work for everyone. The woman-on-top position may help you avoid the discomfort that comes with deep penetration.
Vulvodynia
If burning pain at the opening of the vagina has made sex impossible but your doctor can't find a cause, you may have vulvodynia, a condition in which part of the vulva is chronically inflamed. No one knows how many women suffer from it or what first sets off the pain, which may be a constant torture or may flare up just during sex. Experimental treatments include cutting certain foods out of your diet or learning to use a biofeedback device to control muscle spasms that may be contributing to the pain. Surgery to remove the inflamed skin has resolved the problem for some women, but should be considered only as a last resort.
Hormones
If you're breastfeeding or approaching menopause, your sexual discomfort may be due to hormonal changes. In both cases, falling estrogen levels can dry up your natural lubrication and make your vaginal tissue fragile. New moms may want to use a drugstore lubricant until their estrogen levels return to normal when they stop breastfeeding. Older women with this complaint may consider going on hormone replacement therapy or using an estrogen cream.
c a doctor
Take it in the rear for him.
I think you should talk to your doctor before things get ugly
with you and your husband.
c a doctor.
i don't know but if it hurts you should masterbate until it dosn't.
Is it possible that he's just really big and it stretches or tears you? I've had the same issue and that's what the problem is with my fiancee and myself.
It could be anything from an abrasion to PID - or simply that you and your husband are not quite compatible - if you know what I mean. There's really not enough information to give you a better answer. Go to your OBGYN - ASAP. If you don't have insurance, go to the free clinic.
This is an issue for your doctor, but as a layman I'd suggest some lube. Astroglide or KY are cheap and affective, or you could just try a lot more foreplay...
thats why females have 2 holes, when one breaks down the other is for backup untill mantiance comes.
I personally stopped having sex because of pain. Mine is related quite possibly to endometriosis though (and I feel really bad for my bf) and it usually really only hurt when he first entered. If he goes really deep, then I get such an intense pressure that I coil up.
If I were you, I'd go to your gyno to get checked out because it very well could be something a bit more serious that probably is treatable. Good-luck with everything.
i dont know but you should really check that out
a friend of mine had a tilted uterus (I think it was her uterus) anyway, she had a lot of pain while having sex, she went to a doctor and had to have "physical therapy" basically they gave her as dido and exercises to do. I am in no way kidding. Go see a doctor. Whatever it is is probably treatable.
Maybe your not producing enough vaginal lubrication. Try doing things with him to help get it "wet" more.lol. So stomach kisses ear lickin. oral or wateva get s you going. it shouldn't really hurt if your having an orgasm. i mean orgasm is from feeling pleasure not pain.
What kind of pain is it? If it is a burning, you may need to use more lube or a lidocain jelly to numb the opening of your vagina. If it is a pain on the inside like a cervical kind of pain then you may have a tilted or a sunk back uterus. In this case you may have to see a ob/gyn and they can tell you how your uterus is positioned and what positions you can do to minimize pain. Also, are you having any relationship troubles with your husband? A lot of times when women experience pain during intercourse it is linked to something mental rather than physical. Talk with your physician.
You could have some kind of cyst or there could be another kind of "blockage." You should def see a doctor because regular pain like you described is NOT normal and the longer you wait to find out, the worse it could become.
Well, after an orgasm, you probably feel done, so you're not as turned on anymore, and it gets to be more of an annoyance than pleasure. But, luckily for you, women can have multiple orgasms and we just have to figure out how to get you from the first orgasm to more pleasure.
If you don't already, continue stimulating your clitoris after you finish the first time, to keep the arousal up. Or, have him stop for a minute, apply some lube, and get you going again. If you give your body some time to recover from the first orgasm, you can get ramped up for the second and then have him enter you again, while stimulating yourself the whole time. You may be able to have another orgasm this way, or just have it be pleasurable until he finishes.
Wish I did have the answer and it is something I have never heard about before. But you certainly need to see a a professional OB/GYN. I am sure there must be test they can take to find out what the problem is.
I am not trying to be facieous but sometimes it does hurt, but good hurt, like having a baby. lol
You need to see a doctor. As others have indicated it could be Endometriosis.
maybe your mate confuses your anus for a vagina?
He's on your hair.
P.S. -- you are CLEARLY a Troll.. and probably a guy.
1) No woman would choose that avatar for herself. 2) no married woman would post this nonsense question, especially if she's married.. because she'd already have her answers... 3) this is a Male myth.. because even a pettitte woman can handle a larger man relative to your question (which I know, for a fact).
