Ep 20: Why Do Females Find Sex Painful? | Vaginismus- Causes & Treatment

So there could be a couple of reasons for that. I think she would definitely require a detailed evaluation by a doctor, but it could be either because, you know, sometimes she's not sexually aroused. Thus leading to a lack of lubrication, thus leading to, you know, friction during intercourse, maybe. Or it could be maybe sometimes just tired. You're not in the mood or sometimes you probably have an infection. A UTI, uh so it could be typical reasons around this. Or if you've maybe maybe masturbated a little roughly. The area feels a little sore. So lot many reasons, which is why it's important to consult with a doctor first. And have it evaluated.

I think the one very important thing we've been talking about very commonly is communication and what a big role it plays. I think it's a common theme. Well, that's exactly right. So I think sex, sexual intimacy in general is largely based on communication, likes and dislikes- so on and so forth. So I think it's very important she first, she should be able to rather develop a you know, being able to talk to a partner and say that it's not okay and it's causing me discomfort because otherwise, how is it even a pleasurable activity? The second thing is, you know, maybe she herself can consult with a doctor, a therapist, or maybe both of them together, but unfortunately does. I'm sorry. Unfortunately it does lead to avoidance and a lot of negative emotions. But I think once you have it understood and identified and then treated, sexual intimacy can be very pleasurable and enjoyable. And yeah, it may become better and healthier for you than ever before.

Yeah, unfortunately, that can be a little, you know, cause a few problems here and there. And it is a very painful condition for a lot many women, but that doesn't necessarily mean you can't have sexual intimacy or sexual intercourse with someone. Yeah, but again, I think it's advisable to consult with a doctor because based on your symptoms or the severity of it, appropriate medication treatment can be given and, you know, a few lifestyle modifications on the side. And I think you should be good to go.
