Painful Sex in Females: Causes & When to Seek Help

Common Causes:

  • Vaginal dryness (often due to hormonal changes, breastfeeding, or menopause)
  • Infections (like yeast infections, UTIs, or STIs)
  • Pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Endometriosis or fibroids
  • Vaginismus (involuntary muscle tightening)
  • Psychological factors (stress, anxiety, past trauma)

  • Bleeding unrelated to periods
  • Emotional distress linked to sexual activity
