Why do some women experience pain during sex?
1) After
menopause, some women experience pain due to thinning of the vaginal walls,
less lubrication, and less elasticity. http://www.premarinvaginalcream.com/vaginal-atrophy-symptoms.aspx?source=google&HBX_PK=s_sex++pain+during&o=75824775|251525866|0&skwid=43700003140864608
2) After
receiving an episiotomy while giving birth, some women get scar tissue that
leaves the vaginal walls tight and painful. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/Pages/episiotomy.aspx
3) Some
women experience a condition called vaginismus or dyspareunia which is painful
condition that can prevent couples from consummating their marriage. http://www.vaginismus.com/?gclid=CPS6j_X6_rUCFcZFMgoddjIA3g

4) A
urinary tract infection, kidney infection, or yeast infection can temporarily
make sex uncomfortable if left untreated.
5) Vulvodynia,
a chronic pain condition, can cause pain during sex. http://www.nva.org/
