Dysorgasmia: Dysorgasmia is the term used to describe pain with orgasm. Likely more common than suspected in women. Unfortunately, there is a lack of good, validated, scientific evidence on causes and treatment. Seems to be more common in pre-menopausal women. Suggested causes include hormone imbalance and pelvic muscle spasm. Treatment options: NSAIDs, heating pad, hormones, pelvic floor PT, amitriptyline.
