Relief of symptoms

Painful sex is not a threat to your health. But this is not a reason to accept this situation. Here's how you can find the pleasure during sexual intercourse.

Realign your positions. You do not need a trapeze in your room. Even a small change in position can be effective. The best positions are those where the woman controls the penetration of the penis into the vagina. It is above, or lying on your side, he said. See what positions are comfortable for both of you, a physical standpoint and psychological. If all the positions you take make you suffer, tell your doctor positions that cause you the most pain and those that you do the least. This information will help the doctor to discover the cause of the problem.

Relax. If the vaginal muscles are tense and they prevent the penetration, focus on the erotic stimulus. Often, a sentient body will react easily to emotions such as pain of pregnancy, pain or a reluctance to have sex. Do not rush, and if your still worried, talk to your doctor. Sex does not necessarily always have sex. You can show affection by caressing your partner's hair for an hour, for example.

Master drought. As we approach menopause, the thinning and drying of the vaginal tissues become a common problem. But however, there are many solutions. If you have rarely drying, try a water based lubricant. For a constant moisture, try some products that activate fluid intake in the tissues of the vagina. If the problem is chronic, you may want to discuss HRT with your doctor.

Prevent bladder infections. If burning sensations occur during intercourse and urination, you may be suffering from a urinary tract infection. After the physician's examination, if such an infection was diagnosed, he will prescribe the appropriate treatment. But the most important part, which is to prevent recidivism, depends on you. Urinate at regular intervals of about three or four hours. Otherwise, your bladder may stretch, hold the urine, swelling, or infiltration of bacteria.

Take care of your herpes. If the herpes virus is the cause of your pain, you should avoid sexual intercourse until the infection has cleared. Although herpes requires long-term treatment, it may be in remission or even cured.  The most sensible advice during these episodes of pain are to avoid having sex during the demonstrations and to use condoms at all times.
