What’s Causing the Pain?
Pain with intercourse is often linked to dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles, a group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs.
Common contributing factors include:
- Pelvic floor tightness or weakness
- Postpartum changes
- Hormonal shifts
- Scar tissue or past injury
- Prostate or pelvic conditions (for men)
- Chronic pelvic pain conditions
At OrthoPelvic, we identify the root cause ...not just treat symptoms.
