Orgasmic disorders are more common in women than in men. This is largely due to the way sex is addressed at large. Women are shy in general and do not discuss it openly. Therefore, in most cases, they are not aware how to overcome the issue of painful intercourse. A little support from the spouse and/or a counsellor can help in overcoming this problem. Simple tips like topical lubrication and adequate foreplay can lead to improved, painless sexual experience.

Sex can be painful in women due to some hormonal or medical causes. Hormonal inadequacy which does not provide for sufficient lubrication can make it painful. Infections of the urinary or reproductive tract can also be a cause. These are often temporary and can be managed with simple methods like adequate foreplay, topical stimulation, and improving overall relationship comfort levels. Inadequate foreplay can lead to insufficient lubrication and is often a major cause for painful sex. This can be managed easily with artificial lubrication.

Anorgasmia in females is a very common condition. Though not admitted, many go through it quietly and do not open up. The causes are not even medical in most cases. History of past sexual abuse, poor self-esteem, sex considered as a social taboo, and incompatibility with the spouse are some common nonmedical causes for anorgasmia in females. Unless there is an underlying medical condition, sex need not be painful. If you find it painful, seek some help and see the pain disappear.
