Vaginal Pain or Discomfort

Sometimes our emotions get expressed as physical sensations. For example, stress can cause some people to get tension headaches. In a similar way, stress and tension, especially if they are related to issues with a sexual partner, can cause painful sexual intercourse (dyspareunia). This can also happen for women who have experienced sexual trauma in the past.

Have you had a traumatic sexual experience or significant stress that makes you very tense during sexual intercourse?

Yes.

No.
