Breaking the Silence on Dyspareunia: Advanced Solutions for Women’s Intimate Comfort
Sexual health remains one of the most important yet least discussed aspects of women’s overall wellbeing. As Sexual Health Awareness Month puts these crucial conversations in the spotlight, Aguirre Specialty Care in Denver continues its mission to help women overcome painful intercourse (dyspareunia) with innovative, personalized treatments.
Painful sex affects millions of women but is often suffered in silence. Dr. Oscar A. Aguirre, a board-certified and fellowship-trained pelvic surgeon and urogynecologist, has dedicated his career to addressing these intimate concerns with compassion and cutting-edge solutions.
At Aguirre Specialty Care, we understand that sexual discomfort isn’t just a physical issue—it impacts relationships, self-confidence, and quality of life.
Understanding Painful Sex: Causes and Impact
Dyspareunia (painful intercourse) can stem from numerous underlying conditions, including:
- Vaginal atrophy and dryness, particularly common during perimenopause and menopause
- Pelvic organ prolapse conditions
- Scar tissue from childbirth or previous surgeries
- Hormonal imbalances affecting vaginal tissue health
- Structural changes following childbirth
- Chronic pelvic floor dysfunction
The emotional impact often compounds the physical symptoms, creating a cycle that can be difficult to break without specialized care. Many women unnecessarily accept these symptoms as an inevitable part of aging or motherhood, unaware that effective treatments exist.
Advanced Treatment Options for Painful Sex at ASC
Aguirre Specialty Care offers a comprehensive range of both surgical and non-surgical treatments tailored to address the specific causes of painful intercourse:
