What Causes Painful Intercourse In An Elderly Person?

default
Posted on Mon, 24 Oct 2016
Question: Recently, I have had a very noticeable change in my orgasms--they are more sharp, bordering on painful. I'm 70 years old female! I guess wondering if that could be indicative of something going on in my abdomin.

Brief Answer:
Hormonal deficiency

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
In view of your age ,iam sure you would have had enough evaluation like ultrasound scan,gynaec check up with periodic pap smear and general medical evaluation.
It is possible to feel very dry due to lack of lubrication in view of deficient estrogen hormone.vaginal skin also can be very thin and sore at times.
IF you have not done a check up recently ,get a gynaec check up with ultrasound scan and speculam examination.
If everything is normal,estrogen vaginal creams are available and can be used with gynaecologists advice.
Hope my answer helps you. Regards

It is not the actual sex (which is fine), it is the orgasm, deep inside, which changed dramatically.

Hormones related

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Can you elaborate on your problems?. orgasm is a general feeling when you reach climax ,nothing like deep inside.
You mean to say ,it is hurting you .?
Please give more details to help you.

So we have already handled the dryness issue, good on that front. About 5-6 weeks ago suddenly my orgasms changed to this more sharp , bordering on painful ones(although I'm not planning to stop, unless you think it's a problem)probably five or six in that month and a half's time.

Brief Answer:
Orgasm

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As you have handled the lubrication issue ,you can get a local and speculam examination to rule out any abnormalities inside.
If everything normal certain positions can be tried ,which you both will be comfortable.
