Explanation

Pain during sex can happen for different reasons. Some women experience vulvo-vaginal pain, which can start when they are young. This type of pain can be due to physical issues or sensitivities in the vaginal area.

Another type of pain is genito-pelvic pain, which can be related to emotional or psychological factors. This may include stress or past experiences that make the pelvic area feel tense.

Some studies also show that pelvic pain can be connected to other health problems.

Understanding these different types of pain can help women find the right care and support.
