Pain with Sex

It’s not you,

it’s your

pelvic floor.

Sex shouldn’t hurt.

Whether pain with sex is new to you, or you’ve never known pain free sex there is hope. The pelvic floor muscles play a critical role in pain with penetration, pain with orgasm, decreased sensation and hypersensitivity.

Pain with sex is common postpartum but it doesn’t have to be. Whether pelvic floor tension or scar tissue has interrupted your intimacy we are here to teach you more about how to help yourself and overcome it.

Questions? I have answers!

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that form the bottom of your pelvis. They have to contract and relax for normal functions. Some muscles close the pelvic floor (close the anus and vagina), some cause an erection of the clitoris and penis, and some are impacted with deeper penetration. An orgasm is a maximal contraction of the pelvic floor muscles and can sometimes result in pain with an orgasm or ejaculation or pain after an orgasm. Scar tissue in this region can also impact pain. Tight pelvic floor muscles can also compress delicate nerves that can cause pain in the genitals.

We get it. Going to a pelvic floor specialist for this wasn’t on your favorite list of to-dos. Rest assured we see patients just for pain with sex all the time. It matters. Depending on your comfort level we take a holistic approach to your symptoms. We can perform internal and external pelvic floor, nerve and tissue assessments to see what the root cause of your pain is. Our exams and treatments are single digit, no speculums and we never want pain to go above a 3-4/10 during any point in the session. We know you’ve probably had some painful exams in the past, rest assured we know it provokes anxiety but we are here to help. Our treatments are performed with your consent only and are educational. We also teach our patients and their partners (if you want) how to continue to improve with techniques and tools at home between appointments.

We have private and comfortable treatment rooms.

No problem! We know there are various reason why you wouldn’t want an internal exam. You are in control of your treatment. We will do everything we can to teach you how to help yourself at home with tools and techniques and answer questions as they come up on your journey.
