Pain during sex women

Source
Both men and women can experience pain during sex, although men experience it less often than women. The vagina is much more sensitive and vulnerable than the penis. The pain can have many causes, also the implications can differ. Fortunately almost everything can be solved, cause sex has to stay fun! This one is for the womenmen go here:

                                                                                  
Pain deep in the vagina (you will feel this in your belly as well) during or after sex.
Mostly this is caused by to wild or to deep sex. Specially when  your partner has a big one and can go deep, which causes him to bump in to your cervix mouth. Certain positions increase the chance he gets really deep, like doggy style, also which increases the chance of pain. Most of the times you will notice this already during sex, so you can change position or angle immediately. Otherwise you have to ask him to be more careful and don't go to deep.

Burning, aching, itching feeling at the entrance of your vagina during or after sex.
This can have many causes: 
1. The most common cause is vaginal dryness, simply, you don't get wet enough. This can have many causes itself as, not being aroused enough, stress, medicine use, hormones, nutrition, genetic predisposition etc. The first is easy to solve, by having an longer and more intensive foreplay which makes you more wet or by using lubrication. Lubrication is a short term option for everything and comes in many different sort and flavors ;) If it's because of medicine use or nutrition you can go to your GP for help with that on the long term.    

2. Also a STD, fungal infection, bladder- or urinary tract infection can lead to pain. When you are with a new partner, make sure to have a STD test so you rule out STD's. A fungal infection (be. Candida) is easy to recognize because you will feel lots of itching and burning, also when you didn't had sex. You will also experience a bad smell at your vagina. Go straight to your GP so he can get it fixed for you. A bladder or uninary tract infection. You will recognize this because it will hurt really bad during peeing. You can prevent this by going to the toilet after sex, wearing clean underwear and shower everyday, wiping yourself from the front to the back after toilet use, keeping your lower back and pubic-area warm and by drinking enough fluids. Do you already have one? Drink even more water than usual, keep your belly warm and go see your GP if its not going away and ask for antibiotics.

3. Uterine tumors or endometriosis (Cells from out the uterus end up in the  
ovaries or fallopian tubes) can cause pain. With endometriosis the cells are influenced by the menstruation, they grow and bleed monthly which causes cysts, who cause pain and bleeding's. Let your GP help you with this or try using your birth control pill more than one month or try different contraceptives who stop the menstruation.

4. (Personal care-)Products: Certain types of soap and body-cremes or the overuse of vaginalproducts can cause irritation because they disturb the PH-value of your vagina. Find out what pruduct causes the irritation by stopping with all of them and then use only one at a time. 

5. A latex- or sperm allergy: Some women are allergic to the latex most condoms are made of. You can use different condoms in that case. But it could also be that you are allergic to the spermicide or lubrication of them. A GP can find out what exactly is what gives you the reaction but using different condoms can help you without going to your GP. If this is not working switch to different contraceptives.

A small percentage of women is allergic to sperm, in that case you will immediately get a reaction like redness, swellings, itch, pain and in some cases even dyspnea. Luckily there are many solutions to this problem. The most easy is using condoms or taking medicine to reduce the inflammatory response. But you can also see your GP to get an desensitization treatment.  This holds the GP/doctor will inject a every time increased dose of purified allergen. In this way your body will start creating other antibodies. Most GP's first consider the allergy to be something else, but there is a easy test. If you think it could be a sperm allergy put a bit of sperm in the inside of your elbow, you will see a reaction quite fast in case you're really allergic.

6. Changed anatomy after pregnancy. Some women can have aching scar tissue after giving birth. So be careful in in the first time after. If the pain stays after weeks, it's better to go to your gynecologist.  
It's also possible they stitched you to tight, which makes you to closed and in pain while having sex. A perinealplasty would do the trick. In that case the surgeon will widen you from the inner and outer side so you can have a normal sexlife again.  
It is possible that your vagina prolapse after giving birth or when you get older. The only treatment for this, as far as I could find, is a surgery to fix it.

7. Rough sex. Next to pain at the cervix mouth rough sex can also lead to irritation at the entrance of your vagina because of the friction. Use lubrication or be more careful. 

8. Getting older. when you get older your vagina will produce less liquid. Do longer foreplay and use lubrication.

Pain in your pelvis / to your pelvic floor muscles, mostly after sex.
Mostly caused by (unconsciously) tensing your pelvic muscles during sex. Be on time in this case, because there is a risk in getting into a vicious circle which can develop in vaginismus. Before you start with treating this give your vagina time to recover. If you already tried relaxing on your own, having more intense foreplay and using lubrication go see your GP or a sexologist. They can help you find the (psychological) cause and give you pelvicmuscetraining. You can also find the training here. Important in this case: Don't have sex if you don't want to! Don't be in pain just because you want to please your partner!
