Painful or difficult sexual intercourse for women can have various causes, ranging from emotional factors like fear to physical issues such as a rigid hymen, underdeveloped vagina, tumors, or severe hip disease. When no disease or anatomical abnormality is present, psychological factors, including anxiety, are often the primary culprits. The male partner may also contribute to the issue through ineffective erections or an overly large penis. Conditions affecting the female reproductive system, like inflammation, painful scars, or pelvic swellings, are other frequent causes of discomfort during intercourse. Women who are apprehensive about pregnancy, pain, or the sexual act itself may also report pain, which is often attributed to nervous spasms.
