Sex styles that affect women’s health

　　More than 10% of women have experienced discomfort during sexual activities such as caressing, masturbation or intercourse before sex. Discomfort during sex can occur for a variety of reasons—— disease , obstacles, difficulty in excitement, boring. In terms of short term consequences, it ruined a great night ； Long-term consequences include mood disorders, reduced interest in sex, and even loss of sexual desire.

1. Lubrication is an important part. Sexual/painful intercourse is caused by insufficient lubrication. When you're aroused and ready for penetration, hormones cause your vagina to produce fluid to allow the penis to enter and thrust smoothly. But some reasons prevent this process from happening, such as taking medicine, breastfeeding or amenorrhea hormonal imbalance caused by； Not getting enough sexual/intercourse stimulation ； Psychological disorders due to painful experiences such as childbirth, etc.

Vaginal lubrication can be a temporary solution. In the long term, you will need to treat hormonal imbalances through hormonal or estrogen regulation. But sometimes discomfort during sex is caused by insufficient preparation before sex. In this case, you need to fully relax, ensure you get enough sexual/pre-coital stimulation, and wait a little longer before penetration, usually about 3 times longer than usual.

2. Physiological problems Sexual/painful intercourse may be a sign of disease. If lubricant doesn't help, or the pain is accompanied by bleeding, you should see your doctor.

If you experience urinary urgency, you may have a bladder infection. You should urinate before and after sex. Your doctor will treat your infection with antibiotics. If you only experience pain in certain sexual positions, your ovaries may be compressed. Your doctor will check your ovaries for inflammation or infection. If the possibility of disease is ruled out, then you only need to change the sex/intercourse position. Pain when your partner penetrates deeply may be caused by an infection. If you only experience pain at the beginning of sex, you may have a vaginal fungal infection. Protective measures should be taken after treatment.

3. Difficulty in insertion Sometimes you may encounter difficulty in insertion. This may be due to a dislike of sex, or worse, vaginismus. Vaginismus is a physiological or psychological reaction to penetration that causes vaginal muscles to spasm due to an excessive reaction, making it impossible for foreign objects to be inserted. People usually regard penetration as the most important sign of sex/intercourse. Therefore, once you encounter difficulty in penetration, you will have a sense of failure, thinking that you are unable to exert the abilities given by nature, and feeling guilty for your unreasonable reactions. Partner may be devastated. From the looks of it, he suffered a setback ； In the long run, there was no way he could live with the rejection he received.

Fear of penetration may stem from the following reasons: ① You may have felt uncomfortable during sex, but forced yourself to persist in order to meet the needs of your spouse. After a few times of this, you will develop the expected fear and nervousness of penetration. ②You're frightened by something special, such as an embarrassing internal vaginal examination, sexual violence, childbirth, etc., and your body begins to refuse to cooperate. ③You may not like receiving penetration because it makes you feel too emotionally close.
