Sex should be enjoyable, but notdiscomfort. But in practice, a woman often encounters such a phenomenon as pain during sex. Often, she is embarrassed to admit to anyone that such a problem exists. Like, it will hurt and then stop, you can endure it. But the result of such an attitude can be quite deplorable. A woman experiences pain so often during sex that she develops a kind of unconditional reflex. Sex - expectation of pain - pain itself. And even after the cause of pain is identified and eliminated, the body at the moment of sexual intimacy extracts from the "archives" of memory the usual sensations and gives them out. As a result, we get a vicious circle - and it seems that there is nothing to hurt, but at the same time the woman experiences quite real pain. Therefore, in no case should you ignore the problem - try to solve it immediately after it first made itself known.
Defloration
And we will start our conversation from the very beginning.of a woman's sexual life. The first time most women experience pain is during defloration or, in simple terms, during the loss of virginity. Moreover, most often the main reason for such pain is a woman's banal fear of sex. It is fear that leads to strong spasms of all the muscles of the body, and first of all the muscles of the vagina. Sometimes there are cases when the hymen turns out to be excessively thick and with a huge number of nerve endings. But much more often the hymen is very thin and elastic, so during the first sexual contact it does not tear, but smoothly stretches. And that is why in most cases there should be no sharp pain during defloration. As, by the way, and bleeding - its absence can be called the norm rather than pathology. As you can see, most often the cause of pain is banal fear.
Vaginismus
Vaginismus is also a very commona common problem. As a rule, the cause of vaginismus is a sad sexual experience, during which the woman experienced very unpleasant sensations. These negative associations are fixed in the subconscious and at the most crucial moment make themselves known. In fact, the pain does not arise because of the penetration of the penis, but because of the strong contraction of the vaginal muscles. By the way, a woman experiences similar painful sensations during a gynecological examination. The vaginal muscles tense up so much that it becomes almost impossible to insert a speculum. In both situations, the mechanism of pain is the same - a strong muscle spasm. And this is precisely why the pain occurs, and not at all because a foreign body penetrates the vagina. The only way to cope with the problem in this situation is to seek help from a psychologist and sexologist. In principle, with timely treatment, the problem is eliminated quite quickly.
Inflammatory processes
In the event that during sex a womanexperiences unpleasant sensations in the vagina, such as burning, pain, itching, you can suspect that she has some inflammatory processes. And the first thing to do in such a situation is to consult a gynecologist. The doctor will prescribe the necessary examinations and appropriate treatment. During treatment, you must refrain from sexual activity, or, in extreme cases, use condoms. By the way, treatment must be carried out for both partners, regardless of the man's test results. And pay attention! You should not immediately pounce on your spouse, accusing him of all mortal sins - not every inflammatory process is evidence of infidelity. In most cases, the development of an inflammatory process is provoked by microflora that is natural for any organism: staphylococcus, E. coli, fungi. Being in their usual habitats, these microorganisms do not cause any problems. But when they get into unusual places - for example, from the intestines to the vagina, they begin to actively multiply and lead to the development of inflammation. Therefore, you should not look for the guilty, but rather start treatment as soon as possible.
Adhesive processes
Also, many women often suffer from pain in the lower part.abdomen during sex. And there is a very high probability that the cause of these painful sensations is the presence of adhesions. Adhesions in all cases are a consequence of previously suffered inflammatory processes of the intestines or appendages. If a woman notices painful sensations during intercourse, she needs to remember whether she has had periodic abdominal pain before. Doctors say that adhesions in the pelvic organs are present in the vast majority of adult women. Often, they do not bother women at all and do not cause any harm to their health. But in some cases, the pain from adhesions makes itself known during sex - especially in certain positions. By the way, it is the correct choice of position that will help to minimize discomfort during sex. In addition, you need to seek help from a gynecologist. He will conduct the necessary examination and prescribe treatment. Most often, the problem can be solved with the help of physiotherapy. But in some cases, if the adhesions are especially strong, doctors have to resort to surgical intervention. By the way, the same applies to various injuries, ruptures and stitches, especially after difficult childbirth.
Endometriosis
Very often there is pain in the lower abdomen duringsex is a consequence of such a disease as endometriosis. Endometriosis often manifests itself in spotting, not related to the menstrual cycle, and painful sensations. Including pain during sex. Moreover, with endometriosis, painful sensations are most severe in the middle of the menstrual cycle. And this pain is extremely severe - it often makes sexual life almost impossible.
Venous blood stagnation
In the event that a woman's sexual lifeirregular, or if a woman does not achieve orgasm during intercourse, she may encounter a very unpleasant phenomenon. Blood will constantly flow to the pelvic organs, and its proper outflow will not occur. At first, a woman will feel a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, nagging pain after intercourse. Over time, this condition leads to swelling of the vaginal walls, which means pain during sex itself. Moreover, the pain can be very sharp. This condition is not just uncomfortable for a woman - it has a very negative effect on the general condition of the woman's reproductive system. It can provoke the development of diseases such as mastopathy, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian dysfunction, and others. Therefore, in no case leave this problem unattended - promptly consult a gynecologist, and, if necessary, a sexologist.
- Neuralgia of pelvic nerves
In the event that a woman experiences severe painin the pelvic area, which intensifies even more during sexual intercourse or a gynecological examination, and radiates to the leg, it is fair to assume that the woman has pelvic neuralgia. The average person knows little about this phenomenon, but the fact remains that neuralgia is not only intercostal or facial. In no case should neuralgia be left untreated. And it is hardly possible, because the pain is extremely severe even if the woman is in a state of complete rest. Pelvic neuralgia is treated in the same way as any other neuralgia - physiotherapy procedures, warming ointments, pepper plasters. But it is better not to self-medicate - consult your gynecologist, who will reliably diagnose the disease and prescribe the best treatment.
- Insufficient amount of lubricant
In the event that a woman has during sexual intercoursetoo little lubrication is released during intercourse, and there may also be very uncomfortable sensations and sometimes pain during intercourse. In such situations, it is worth contacting a doctor who will help determine the cause and find a solution to the problem. In addition, you can use special lubricants that are sold in pharmacies.

But doctors say that the physiological characteristics of the female body are such that cervical erosion simply cannot hurt.

- Anatomical incompatibility of partners
