Painful intercourse can stem from various physical and psychological factors, affecting up to 20% of people in the U.S. at some point in their lives. Common causes include:

  • Hygiene-related issues
  • Allergies or irritations
  • Infections and decreased lubrication
  • Internal conditions
  • Mental, emotional, and psychological factors, including past trauma or stress
