How do I talk to my doctor about painful sex?

Talk openly with your healthcare provider about any pain during sexual intercourse. Some questions your healthcare provider may ask you are:

• Where is the pain occurring?
• How often does the pain occur?
• How long have you been having painful intercourse?
• What does the pain feel like?
• What medications are you taking?
• Have you had any prior surgeries in the area?
• Have you been treated for any conditions of the vagina?
