women health issues

Pain during intercourse is the most sensitive problem amongst women that most of them feel it difficult to consult a physician. But this can be treated as the reason might be some physical illness.

Since a woman plays a major part of the whole reproduction process right beginning from the formation of the ova till giving birth to the child
painful intercourse could be a difficult stage for you to pass. In medical terms
it is known as dyspareunia that leads to tearing
ripping
burning or aching sensation during penetration. This pain could occur at the vaginal opening or deep in the pelvis or anywhere else in between. This could also be felt throughout the pelvic area and sexual organs.

Reasons for pain during intercourse

1. The most common reason for the irritation during intercourse is insufficient lubrication or arousal that could create a vicious circle leading to a fear among the woman. Women having a hysterectomy or mastectomy can also face this problem with arousal because of the feeling of incompleteness. This could be treated with prompt and proper consultation whereby the physician provides you with lubrication methods that in turn will reduce discomfort.

2. Another factor for painful intercourse is thinning and drying of vaginal tissues when menopause begins amongst women. This occurs due to less production of the estrogen hormone that is needed to maintain vaginal tissue moist. As the ability of the vagina to make its own mucus tissues declines so as it becomes dry
itchy and painful leading to pain during intercourse.

3. Unintentional muscle spasms of the thighs
pelvis and vagina can also make penetration impossible and this stage is known as vaginismus that could develop from any of the above mentioned factors or due to psychological factors. A victim of traumatic sexual experience or rape can also lead to vaginismus and as such counseling can help a lot.

4. Most common reasons for painful intercourse is vaginal
pelvic infection or boils or cysts and boils
tumors
scars or anything that narrows the vagina
uterine tissue growing outside the uterus with bleeding and pain
intact hymen
complications of any past surgery
diseases such as diabetes that interfere with the physical process of arousal or orgasm.

Any of the factors due to less lubrication can be overcome with methods such as lubrication gels
estrogen creams or estrogen replacement therapy in pills.

Endometriosis is most commonly related to the menstrual cycle however it is not cancerous in about 95 percent5 of cases. In endometriosis
a layer of tissue that lines the uterus normally thickens with blood
shreds through the vagina as the menstrual period arrives. However
this tissue is found outside the uterus attached to or embedded in the body tissues.

In such condition
fragments of endometrial tissue appears almost anywhere in the body except within the “uterus”. Most often
the ovaries
fallopian tubes between the ovaries and uterus
the vagina and the uterine wall followed by the abdomen
intestine
bladder
and kidney is the most affected. In some rare cases endometrial tissue is even found in the lungs
skin
surgical scars
certain nerves
the brain and the lymphatic system.

It develops outside the uterus and appears to be normal and stimulated by the estrogen hormone continues to perform its normal function selling to accept a fertilized egg
disintegrating when conception does not occur and sloughing off in preparation for the next cycle. During each menstrual cycle
the tissue bleeds just as the endometrial does. The trouble here is that the tissue is longer in the uterus where it belongs but anywhere else in the body. The bloody debris formed by the breakdown of the misplaced tissue has no way to escape. These tissues when accumulate produces irritation
inflammation and pain that could continue period after period. If left unchecked
the bleeding may create scar tissue that could even spread through the pelvis
twisting and attaching organs to each other thereby interfering with their proper function
filling the entire cavity and later producing a tumor like mass.
