A member asked:

Could a person suffer of dyspareunia physically after a force intercourse or is it more like a mental problem?

Can be both: There can be physical and emotional/mental injuries with forced intercourse. This is rape, and is also a crime. Please tell your doctor about what you experienced, and get a gentle examination to make sure any physical injuries are treated. Your doctor can also help you get help for the emotional aftermath. Not only can this show up in pain syndromes, but also tension, hypervigilance, & more.
