Pain During Sexual Intercourse
Pain during sexual intercourse, known as dyspareunia, can affect many women at different stages of life. This pain may be related to tension or dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles. See our Pelvic Health page for more.
Women may experience:
- Pain during penetration
- Burning or sharp pelvic pain
- Muscle tightness in the pelvic region
Pelvic health physiotherapy can help identify whether pelvic floor muscle tension or dysfunction may be contributing to these symptoms.
Physiotherapy Treatment
Treatment focuses on restoring normal pelvic floor muscle function and reducing muscle tension. This may include:
- Pelvic floor relaxation techniques
- Breathing exercises
- Gentle pelvic floor rehabilitation
- Education and support
Pelvic health physiotherapy provides a supportive, private environment to address these concerns.
