Episode description

Why does it hurt when I have sex? While pain during sex is common for some women, it is not normal. DB offers some potential things to think about that may be impacting pain during sex. Contact your doctor and health care team to make an appointment if you are experiencing pain during sex.

If you’re having sex that you are not consenting to, please know that is not your fault -- here are some resources to help: RAINN and NSVRC. To read more about the Mayo Clinic article mentioned in this episode, click here.
