Dyspareunia

What is dyspareunia?

Dyspareunia or pain with penetration, occurs due to pelvic floor muscle tension and tightness which results in pain with tampon use or penetrative sexual intercourse. Dyspareunia can make penetration difficult, making tampon use difficult or impossible and make sexual intercourse not enjoyable.

Because there are three layers of pelvic floor muscles, pain can be felt with initial penetration, and/or with deeper penetration. The key to recovering from dyspareunia is to treat the underlying cause of the increased pelvic floor muscle tension. This can sometimes be due to a muscle imbalance with other muscles including the hips, core and lower back muscles.

How can pelvic floor PT help with managing symptoms of dyspareunia?

Pelvic floor physical therapists will assess any other contributing factors to your symptoms including pelvic floor muscle tension, core weakness, lower back tension and lifestyle factors that may be playing a role in your symptoms.

​Pelvic floor therapists provide hand-on manual treatments, individualized exercises and discuss ​lifestyle modifications in order to reduce pelvic floor muscle tension and pain. The key to overcoming dyspareunia is to discover the root cause of the pelvic floor muscle tension that is driving your specific pain.
