Dyspareunia (Pain with Sex)
Often experienced before, during, or after vaginal penetration, can significantly impact your tolerance for sexual activity and gynecological exams. This type of pain may occur at the entrance of the vagina, deeper within, or in both areas. It can be caused by several factors, including hormonal imbalances, skin conditions such as Lichen Sclerosus, surgeries, cancer, or even postpartum changes.
For those experiencing genital pain, pelvic physical therapy can provide relief. With the guidance of a skilled pelvic PT, many individuals find that their pain becomes more tolerable or, in some cases, completely eliminated during penetration. Treatment typically includes targeted massage techniques, stretches, and positioning strategies for sexual activity to reduce discomfort.
Pelvic physical therapy can help restore comfort and improve your sexual health, enhancing your overall well-being. If you're experiencing genital pain, working with a pelvic PT can provide significant relief and a more positive experience during intimate moments and medical exams.
