4 Surprising Reasons Why 'Sex' Hurts And What You Can Do About It

Healing from pain during sex is possible. Whether you are experiencing pain in the vagina during sex or discomfort during sex for another reason, you can return to pain-free sex. Sex without pain is possible.

If you are struggling with pain during sex please seek out help, know that you are NOT crazy and any provider that tells you to “just have a glass of wine and relax,” is likely not going to be a good fit for you and your healing journey.

Know that with the right team of providers to support you, you can and will heal. In the mean-time, have patience and kindness with yourself.

Give yourself permission to opt-out of any sexual activity that does not make you feel good and focus your energy on connecting with yourself and your partner in a pain-free way (cuddling, kissing, maybe just touching or external stimulation).

I partnered with Consumer Health Digest to discuss the most common reasons why sex might be hurting and what you can do about it.
