Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia) Treatment in Johor Bahru

Sakit Semasa Hubungan Intim

Dyspareunia refers to persistent or recurrent genital pain immediately before, during, or after sexual intercourse. It affects both women and men, though it is significantly more common in women. In women, causes include vaginal dryness (due to menopause or medication), infections (candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis, herpes), endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, vaginismus, and vulvodynia. In men, causes include phimosis, prostatitis, and skin conditions. Addressing dyspareunia requires sensitive medical assessment to identify and treat the underlying cause.
