Pain During Intercourse

Cervicitis can make intercourse painful or uncomfortable. The pain may feel sharp, aching or stabbing. It can also be more uncomfortable than painful. The pain or discomfort during intercourse is due to irritation around the cervix or vaginal canal. This pain can be increased in certain people when other issues, like bacterial vaginosis or vaginitis, are also present.⁴‘Cervicitis.’ Johns Hopkins Medicine, www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/cervicitis

There may be other causes for pain during intercourse. Examples include endometriosis, chlamydia, vaginal dryness and pelvic floor dysfunction.
