One in five women can experience pain with sex at some point in their lifetime, and nine out of ten women have pain the first time they have sex after a baby. For many postpartum women, this pain persists for over a year. There can be several causes of painful sex, including but not limited to vaginal dryness, infection, hormonal imbalance, nerve entrapment, scar tissue, muscle spasm, and prolapse. Although pain with sex can occur, it is NOT normal, and you should not have to “just deal with it.” We are here to help. A pelvic physical therapist can help by guiding you through various exercises involving breathing, stretching, strengthening, massage, and education. Let us help you return to pain-free, healthy sex life!”
