Painful Intercourse treatment in Monterrey

Pain during sexual intercourse, known medically as dyspareunia, is the discomfort or pain that appears before, during, or after intercourse. It can occur in anyone and have a physical origin, an emotional one, or both.

Common causes: Dryness or irritation of the genital area, infections, hormonal changes, pelvic floor muscle tension, and emotional factors such as anxiety or previous experiences.

When should you seek care? If the pain is recurrent, severe, or affects your well-being and your relationship with your partner, it is worth discussing it with a professional without embarrassment.

Which specialist addresses it? Depending on the case, a general practitioner can guide you as a first point of contact, a sexologist when aspects of sexuality are involved, or a psychologist and psychiatrist when there are underlying emotional components. Talking about it with a trusted specialist helps identify the cause and improve your quality of life.
