Painful Sex

Having sex is fun, but not everyone can enjoy them. Some people feel sex is a painful thing, both women and men. Why did it happen?



As reported by FoxNews, Thursday (1/4/2010), pain that is felt erratic women during sexual intercourse, perhaps due to changes in the position of the cervix that occur during the month. But there are other possible causes, as follows:

1. Vaginal Infections
Or fungal infections such as pelvic inflammatory disease can make intercourse painful from the surface to the vagina.

2. Endometriosis
This can cause deep pelvic pain during sexual intercourse and discomfort. Endometriosis is common in infertile women (infertile).

3. Episiotomy wound
Episiotomy wound is a scar after giving birth. Usually always painful in the early days after childbirth, but the pain persisted for several months.

4. Drought
This is probably due to lack of stimulation or lack of estrogen after menopause, or when the mother is breastfeeding. This can be more pronounced at certain times of the female cycle, and tends to cause pain during intercourse at the beginning of penetration.

5. Vaginismus
These are muscle spasms around the opening of the vagina that makes penetration nearly impossible. This is usually caused by psychological factors, and often occurs because of sexual trauma like sexual abuse or rape.

Whereas in men, pain after ejaculation or pain in the testicle is usually caused by following factors:

1. Inflammation of the prostate gland
Fluid sperm derived from fantasy and dreams that are not removed, can accumulate, pressing the gland and cause inflammation. Another factor that may come into play is because of eating spicy food too much, too often biking, horseback riding or sitting too long.

2. Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Chlamydia, gonorrhea (gonorrhea) and Escherichia coli bacteria can cause pain in the testicles. Avoid sexual intercourse when you are suffering from these diseases, because this disease is easily transmitted through sexual intercourse.

3. Epididymitis
Swelling of the channel that connects the testicle with the vas deferens may cause the tender and swollen groin. Other symptoms such as pain during ejaculation or urination.

4. Testicular torsion
Ie circumstances in which the testes or testicles can 'spin free' or much lower than normal. It usually occurs in adolescents. If you experience this, consult a doctor immediately, to avoid the death of the testis.

5. Testicular Cancer
Risk of testicular cancer is approximately 1 per 250. Symptoms are pain in the lower abdomen or a feeling of "heavy" in the scrotum, the sac that consists of skin and muscle to wrap the testes.
