Female Sexual Dysfunction
Women's sexual health is a very complex matter. Millions of women experience some form of sexual difficulties. In fact, every study that has researched both male and female sexual dysfunction has shown more women than man with disorders.
Four overall categories most female patients fall into:
- Orgasm Disorders
- Lack of Desire
- Lack of Arousal
- Pain during sexual activity
When to Seek Help
These problems occur not just during intercourse with a partner, but also during self-stimulation (masturbation), fondling or oral sex. Sometimes a problem is only temporary and goes away after time. However, if you have a problem that is really frustrating and you can’t overcome on your own no matter what you try you should consider talking to a physician. If you experience physical pain or discomfort or whenever you think it is time, we recommend to consult with a physician immediately. Take our online female sexual dysfunction test.

Possible Causes of Pain During Sexual Activity

Vaginismus also can cause pain during sex. This is a spasm of the pubic muscles and lower vagina. It makes entering the vagina painful.
