Painful sex is incredibly common — but that doesn’t mean it’s normal. In this episode, we’re talking about all the reasons sex can hurt: hormonal changes, pelvic floor dysfunction, dryness, endometriosis, vulvodynia, fear, stress, postpartum changes, and more. We break down what pain during sex can actually feel like, why so many women are dismissed, and most importantly, what can help. Because “just relax” was never a treatment plan.
