Dyspareunia in Pooler

Overcoming Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia) with Specialized Treatment

If you’re experiencing discomfort or pain during or after intimacy, you’re not alone. Many individuals silently struggle with this issue, often feeling isolated or unsure where to turn. Dyspareunia is a common—but often overlooked—condition that can affect both physical well-being and emotional connection. At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we offer expert care to address the root causes of painful intercourse, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your body.

What Is Dyspareunia?

Dyspareunia refers to persistent or recurring pain associated with vaginal penetration. This discomfort may present as burning, sharp, aching, or throbbing sensations—before, during, or after intercourse. The severity and frequency can vary, and in many cases, more than one factor contributes to the pain.

Common Causes of Dyspareunia

A number of physical, hormonal, and psychological influences can lead to this condition, including:

  • Tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles
  • Scarring or tissue sensitivity from childbirth or surgical procedures
  • Gynecological conditions such as endometriosis or PCOS
  • Vaginal dryness or thinning due to menopause and hormonal shifts
  • Infections or inflammatory issues (e.g., UTIs, yeast infections)

Emotional stress, trauma, or anxiety surrounding intimacy

Success Stories & Testimonials

If I could give Jasmine 10 stars, I truly would. Jasmine is one of the people I owe a huge thank you to for helping me along my journey of having a vba3c. The pelvic therapy was a huge factor in me successfully giving birth to my baby girl. She made sure she listened to my concerns and she made sure that I was well prepared for birthing my baby. She is absolutely wonderful and has an amazing spirit!

After years of issues and countless doctors who just prescribed medication for my symptoms, Dr. Polk is getting down to the root problem of my issues and explains everything in a way that I understand. She is someone who is passionate about what she does and truly cares about her patients. You won’t regret seeing her. I am just thankful someone recommended her to me.

Shauni Missenheim

 Dr. Polk is AMAZING! I never understood how important pelvic floor therapy was until my midwife recommended it. I started seeing Dr. Polk during pregnancy and have been seeing her postpartum. I strongly believe my delivery went so smoothly because of her! I am WAY more educated about my body and how it works! Thank you Dr. Polk for helping me achieve the goals in pregnancy, birth and now postpartum.
