Pain During Intercourse
Experiencing pain during intercourse affects sexual performance as well as pleasure. It can even have lasting psychological effects such as fear of penetration leading to impotence. Not surprisingly, equating pain with intercourse can put a strain on relationships, so in this article I look at some of the physical causes of pain during intercourse.
Infection
Pain can arise because of infections such as herpes or sexually transmitted diseases such as untreated gonorrhea.
Foreskin Problems
An overtight foreskin (phimosis) or damage to the foreskin resulting from tearing, friction or inflammation can all lead to pain.
Deformities of the Penis
Conditions such as hypospadias or scar tissue from previous traumas or infections.
Priapism
This is a condition where a non-sexual and often painful and sustained erection occurs.
Allergy
Allergy to the penis by vaginal fluids or contraception chemicals.
Hypersensitivity of the penis
This can occur post orgasm and ejaculation. Growths (benign or cancerous), urinary tract stones or penile deformities.
Action
Pain during intercourse is not normal and should be checked out by a medical practitioner. Do not continue attempting intercourse until you have recieved treatment. This is especially important if the cause of pain is due to infection.
