Symptom #9: Pain During Sex
Pain during sex occurs when there is pain in the pelvis, labia, vulva, vagina, or other parts of the genitalia. The pain can be described as a burning sensation, deep pain, or sharp pain. Pain during sex is an important symptom as it can cause sexual dysfunction.
Some causes of pain during sex include sexually transmitted diseases, menopause, vulvodynia, and vaginismus. During urethritis, pain during sex may occur due to the urethral inflammation associated with the infection. The infection may also cause vaginal irritation, resulting in pain during sex.
