Читать книгу The Lovin' Ain't Over for Women with Cancer - Ralph Alterowitz - Страница 15
Pain During Intercourse Vaginal or pelvic pain during intercourse may be the result of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or other medications that may cause thinning of the vaginal wall or muscle spasms during intercourse. The medical term dyspareunia refers to painful sexual intercourse because of medical or psychological issues. Vaginismus refers to involuntary spasms of the muscles of the vaginal wall, resulting in difficulty with any type of vaginal penetration such as sexual intercourse or even a tampon.
ОглавлениеContributing factors may be age, other diseases, abuse and trauma, or medications such as those taken for high blood pressure.
Any of these problems can cause significant distress. A woman’s partner may pressure her to have sex and be unable to understand why she is either unwilling or lacks enthusiasm. Often, women do not tell their partners that they are feeling pain or that they can’t concentrate on love-making at that moment. Even though they may want physical intimacy, pain or the lack of satisfaction discourages them. Surgery for pelvic cancer and breast cancer is a major cause of pain. Communicating to your partner why you are not up to love-making is essential to keeping the relationship strong.
