Dr Rosie King, MB BS FAChSHM

Dr Rosie King is a specialist in the area of painful sex/intercourse.  Painful sex or intercourse, also known as Dyspareunia, is where you may suffer sudden or ongoing pain during, before or after sexual intercourse.

Painful sex includes:

• discomfort, burning, stinging, tightness or pain when you attempt intercourse?
• When you try to have intercourse have you found it difficult or impossible for your partner’s penis to enter your vagina? 
• Can you get the penis only part of the way in? 
• Does it feel like your partner’s penis is hitting a brick wall when penetration is attempted? 
• Do you abandon attempts at intercourse because of pain?
• Do you find Pap smears painful or impossible?
• Have you had difficulty inserting a tampon into your vagina?
• Or are you too scared to even try to have intercourse?
