Painful Sex
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?
