Sexual pain and discomfort, also called dyspareunia, is pain that happens at any point during intercourse. It can be felt internally in the cervix, uterus, lower abdomen, or externally on the outer portion of the vagina. If there is not enough lubrication during sex, you can feel pain without there being a deeper underlying problem. However, there are many more reasons why women experience sexual pain. Here are some of the most common ones: 

• Vaginal atrophy 
• Problems with the uterus or cervix
• Vaginal infections 
• Endometriosis 
• Ovarian cysts
• Pelvic inflammatory disease 
• STIs 

Pain during intercourse is a common problem that many people deal with, no matter how long they have been sexually active. The level of pain also varies from person-to-person and is dependent on where the pain is located. Some women only experience mild pain in an isolated area, while others may feel a burning or throbbing sensation throughout their entire pelvic area.
