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
