DYSPAREUNIA
According to medical nomenclature, we give the name dyspareunia to the pain that can occur during penetration, whether the pain is felt by the woman or the man.
However, the intensity of this pain varies greatly for each person, so much so that it can become a factor preventing penetration, leading to major problems with sexuality.
In principle, we can divide women into two types, superficial or deep.
SUPERFICIAL DYSPAREUNIA
In these situations, women complain that they feel pain at the beginning of penetration, and most of the time it is related to 3 very classic factors:
- lack of relaxation of the muscles of the PERINEUM
- lack of lubrication
- episiotomy scar or laceration of the vaginal birth
- hypersensitivity of the vulva, known as vulvodynia
- fear of penetration, vaginismus
DEPTH DYSPAREUNIA
On the other hand, in some cases, women only feel pain when penetration is deep, as well as in specific positions.
This type of pain is probably related to some change in a pelvic organ (bladder, uterus or rectum).
Certainly a very common cause is endometriosis, as well as a fibroid.
