As an authority covering a wide scope of health problems affecting women, they recently explored the topic of painful sexual intercourse<\/a> with a team of experts. Many possible culprits were named \u2013 vaginismus, hormonal changes, pelvic muscle guarding, and common infections and STIs. What didn\u2019t make the list?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Fibroids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that develop in and around the uterus and can cause debilitating symptoms including pain during sex and loss of libido. These tumors are common among women and can affect up to 70% of women in their lifetime. Often times, they can cause painful complications, most notably moderate to severe menstrual cramps, unpredictable menstrual cycles, and irregular monthly bleeding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n While fibroids aren\u2019t life-jeopardizing, their symptoms can significantly impact a woman\u2019s quality of life. So why do fibroids sometimes cause painful sexual intercourse? \u201cLocation is highly variable,\u201d says Dr. Nithya Gopal<\/a> of Viva Eve. \u201cYou can have someone with a single fibroid the size of a marble and it drives them absolutely nuts. Other people with fibroids the size of fruits might not even notice. If something is compressing a nerve, or next to an area that\u2019s more sensitive, then clearly that\u2019s going to bother them a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n Women whose fibroids are located in the upper portion of the uterus are more likely to experience \u201cdeep dyspareunia,\u201d painful intercourse deep in the vagina, according to a January 2014 study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine<\/a>. This symptom may be caused by fibroid size\/location. Fibroids that hang through the cervical opening can make it difficult to enjoy sexual intercourse. Additionally, pressure placed on the uterus can worsen symptoms, even causing fibroids to bleed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n \u201cFibroids don\u2019t shrink on their own, and there\u2019s no validated research showing that taking homeopathic supplements is the answer,\u201d says Dr. Gopal. \u201cEarly diagnosis is key. Speak with a fibroid specialist who can diagnose you, make a plan with you based on your pain points, and safely monitor your health as you try different things. Your specialist can give you information on all the medically sound treatments available that can help you get rid of your symptoms for good.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n From trying to start a family, to having a normal romantic relationship, fibroids can hold your life back in a lot of ways. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhat are Fibroids?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
