The Female Pelvic Medicine

Pain with Sex

What is dyspareunia?

Women who experience pain during sex often struggles with embarrassment, distraught, avoidance, shame and frustration. A woman might not even realize that these symptoms are due to a condition called Dyspareunia. Dyspareunia is characterized by painful intercourse—either during or afterwards—for women due to structural or psychological influences.

How can dyspareunia affect one’s life?

Dyspareunia can create discomfort not only from penetration during sex, but even with simple activities such as inserting a tampon. Avoidance of painful encounters may lead to a decrease in sexual interest.

Because Dyspareunia has an effect on a woman’s body and relationships, it can also take a toll on her emotional wellness. Virginia pelvic medicine specialist, Dr. Guerette, understands the devastating affect dyspareunia can have on a woman’s mental, physical, and sexual health and is committed to helping women who experience these symptoms find a solution for their concerns.
