Painful Intercourse Support Group
Dyspareunia is painful sexual intercourse, due to medical or psychological causes. The term is used almost exclusively in women, although the problem may occur in men. The causes are often reversible, even when long-standing, but self-perpetuating pain is a factor after the original cause has been removed.
it like a lump in my vagina. and yes it does hurt. Unless the intercourse was very slow and mild.
But I am older and just left my husband so I'm not worried. My doc
said it had not dropped enough to do anything yet. Doc is leaving
the final decision up to me.
From your brief description it does sound like vaginismus. I hear that scares you as you feel nothing can be done to help. Actually, that's far from the truth. Vaginismus has a psychological cause and counselling can make a massive difference.
It does take time, there is no quick fix and no medication that can cure it, but treatment through therapy can be 100% effective.
