What are the factors causing vaginal pain during sexual intercourse?

Vaginal pain during sexual intercourse refers to the pain of female vulva, vagina and even lower abdomen during sexual intercourse, which can last for hours or days after sexual intercourse. Many women are often afraid of the pain and discomfort caused by sexual intercourse because of the pain of sexual intercourse, resulting in high mental tension, so that they can not get sexual pleasure and satisfaction.

The causes of vaginal pain during sexual intercourse are organic and spiritual. Such as acute and chronic vulvitis, vaginitis, or hymen rupture or vulvar abrasion when getting married, local congestion and swelling in different degrees. In this case, sexual behavior will inevitably bring pain. Another example is cervicitis, endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease. During sexual intercourse, because the penis hits the cervix and pelvis, it can be in the vagina and cause abdominal pain. In addition, genital and vaginal deformities, or adhesions and spots caused by local surgery, or urethral and anal lesions near the vagina, and even hemorrhoids and anal fissure, can also cause pain during sexual intercourse. Due to endocrine changes in menopausal women, ovarian function gradually weakens until it disappears, while female reproductive organs gradually shrink, and sexual desire and excitement are difficult to arouse.
