Pain during intimacy — at entry, deeper inside, or afterwards? It’s more common than most women realise, it has real medical causes, and it can be treated. Privately, without judgment.
Pain during or after intimacy (doctors call it dyspareunia) is common, and it is a genuine medical concern — not something to simply put up with, and nothing to be ashamed of. It might be felt at the entrance, deeper inside, or as burning or soreness afterwards. Many women stay quiet about it for years; you don’t have to.
Because the causes are physical and treatable, understanding what’s happening is the first step to it getting better. Dr. Agarwal approaches this with complete privacy, warmth and zero judgment — as a health issue to solve together, at whatever pace feels comfortable for you.
Pain right at the entrance often points to dryness, an infection, or tightening of the muscles (vaginismus); deeper pain can suggest conditions like endometriosis, ovarian cysts or pelvic infection. Telling your doctor where and when it hurts helps her find the cause quickly — and there is almost always something that helps. If pain ever comes with heavy bleeding, fever, or severe pelvic pain, please seek care promptly.

Private & confidential — nothing is stored on this website or shown publicly.
Real, physical, treatable causes — never “all in your head”.
Dryness — often from hormonal change around menopause or while breastfeeding — is one of the most common and most easily treated causes.
Infections, itching or inflammation can make intimacy painful; treating the underlying cause usually resolves the pain.
Deep pain can point to conditions like endometriosis, cysts or pelvic infection; tightening of the muscles (vaginismus) is another treatable cause.
Gentle, unhurried, and entirely at your pace.
This is handled with real compassion and complete confidentiality. Nothing is rushed, and no examination happens before you’re comfortable.
Where and when it hurts, and how it’s affecting you — in a warm, confidential, judgment-free talk.
A respectful examination, only when you’re ready, to look for dryness, infection or other causes — always at your pace.
An ultrasound or swab where it helps identify a cause like endometriosis or infection.
A clear, kind plan matched to the cause — and to your comfort, with no pressure at any stage.
Matched to the cause — most women feel a real difference.
For dryness, moisturisers or safe local oestrogen can make a dramatic difference — a simple, effective first step for many women.
Clearing an infection, or treating a condition like endometriosis, removes the source of the pain rather than just masking it.
For muscle tightening (vaginismus) or pain after childbirth, patient, step-by-step approaches help — with reassurance every step of the way.

Occasional discomfort can happen, but ongoing or significant pain is not something you should simply accept. It’s a common medical issue (dyspareunia) with real, treatable causes — and worth seeing a doctor about.
Common causes include dryness (often hormonal, around menopause or while breastfeeding), infections, and tightening of the muscles (vaginismus). Deeper pain can point to conditions like endometriosis, cysts or pelvic infection. Where the pain is felt helps identify the cause.
No. Painful intimacy has genuine physical causes and deserves proper medical care. Even where anxiety or muscle tension play a part, they’re treatable with gentle, supportive approaches — never dismissed.
