What Causes Painful Sex in Women?
Pain during intercourse can result from several physical and emotional factors, including:
- Vaginal Dryness - reduced estrogen levels during menopause, breastfeeding, or hormonal changes can lead to vaginal dryness, making intercourse uncomfortable or painful.
- Vaginal Laxity - after childbirth or as a result of ageing, the vaginal walls may become lax and lose their natural tightness, contributing to discomfort or reduced sensation during sex.
- Scar Tissue - women who have undergone vaginal surgery or experienced tears during childbirth may develop scar tissue, which can cause pain during penetration.
- Pelvic Floor Weakness - a weakened pelvic floor can lead to reduced support for the vaginal and pelvic tissues, resulting in pain or discomfort during sex.
- Vaginismus - this condition causes the muscles of the vaginal wall to tighten involuntarily during intercourse, leading to pain and discomfort.
Understanding the root cause of the pain is essential in developing an effective treatment plan. While over-the-counter lubricants or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can offer temporary relief, many women seek longer-lasting solutions to enhance their vaginal health and sexual satisfaction. This is where Morpheus 8V comes in as a non-surgical, rejuvenating treatment that targets the causes of discomfort and pain.
