Pain during intercourse, medically known as dyspareunia, can be caused by several gynecological conditions:
Vaginal Dryness: Often due to hormonal changes, particularly during menopause. Endometriosis: This condition causes tissue similar to the uterine lining to grow outside the uterus. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the reproductive organs that can cause significant pain. Vaginismus: An involuntary contraction of vaginal muscles during penetration. Fibroids: Noncancerous growths in the uterus can cause discomfort during sex.
