Diagnosing the cause of pain during intercourse typically involves a comprehensive evaluation, including:
Medical History: Discussion of symptoms, sexual history, and any underlying health conditions. Physical Examination: A pelvic exam to check for signs of infection, anatomical abnormalities, or other issues. Laboratory Tests: Swabs or blood tests to identify infections or hormonal imbalances. Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans to visualize the pelvic organs.
