Hey 2128, how are you doing?
You should seek help more promptly if you
are experiencing physical pain. Besides
disease, there are a number of other
causes that will produce painful
intercourse e.G. The inflammed remains of
the hymen, a scar remaining from a
childbirth injury, an ill-fitting
diaphragm, and hemorids and anal fissures,
bot of which can be extreamly painful and
make intercourse difficult.
Biological problems usually involve such
things as hormonal imbalances, infections
(like yeast infections), or diseases (like
diabetes or multiple sclerosis) that have
potential side effects like pain during
sex or excessive dryness. There are, as
well, certain times in a woman's life when
she is more prone to sexual problems
because of hormonal changes.
It really depends on the woman and her
partner. Sometimes a problem seems to go
away pretty quickly on its own. But, if
this is something that is really worrying
or frustrating you or your partner and
does not seem to go away no matter what
you try, or if you are experiencing
considerable pain or discomfort, it may be
time to consider professional help.
