Dyspareunia refers to persistent or recurrent genital pain that occurs just before, during, or after sexual intercourse.
This condition can affect both men and women, and its causes can vary from physical factors, hormonal imbalances to psychological factors.
Identifying the underlying cause is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, as it can differ significantly among individuals. Our City Walk-In Clinics are committed to making healthcare accessible, convenient, and affordable, with transparent upfront pricing to ensure no unexpected costs.
Painful intercourse can result from various physical and psychological factors.

During your consultation, your healthcare provider may conduct a physical examination and recommend diagnostic tests to pinpoint the cause of your discomfort. Depending on your symptoms and medical history, these tests may include screening for STIs, testing hormone levels, and taking swabs to check for infections like yeast or bacterial vaginosis. In some cases, imaging studies such as ultrasound may also be ordered to visualise pelvic organs and rule out structural abnormalities or conditions such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
Your healthcare provider will discuss the results of the screening or tests with you and explain any diagnoses, such as infections, hormonal imbalances, pelvic floor dysfunction, or other underlying conditions that may be contributing to your dyspareunia. Based on the diagnosis, your healthcare provider will collaborate with you to develop a treatment plan.
