Pain during or after sexual intercourse is called dyspareunia. Women with dyspareunia may experience pain in the labia, clitoris, vagina, or deep in the pelvis. There are many causes of dyspareunia, and most can be treated successfully. The pain of dyspareunia can vary from superficial pain at penile entry of the vagina, to deeper pain with full penetration or penile thrusts. Some women experience painful spasms of the vaginal muscles with intercourse known as vaginismus.

Some common causes of dyspareunia include vaginal dryness, skin conditions, endometriosis, infections, and psychological trauma. Vaginal dryness occurs because the normal increase in vaginal lubrication during sexual stimulation may be diminished at certain times in a woman’s life such as during breast-feeding or at menopause. This is caused by a lowered level of the female hormone estrogen. Certain medications can also cause vaginal dryness, including tamoxifen and antihistamines.
