Dr. Beth Cook answered

Painful sex: Pain with sex could be any number of problems. Inadequate foreplay and thus a lack of lubrication can lead to painful sex. Presence of an infection can cause painful intercourse as well. It is best to have infection ruled out, then approach other problems with your md.
