Hey there, welcome to the NorthStar Physical Therapy podcast!
I am your host, Dr. Shirlea North and I dive into lymphedema, lipedema, and various pelvic health dysfunctions. My goal is to provide to you a better way to understand these conditions so that you empower yourself with knowledge to advocate for yourself. Let NorthStar Physical Therapy guide and navigate you on your journey to optimal health!
For this episode, let’s talk about Intercourse and Dyspareunia. As Valentine’s Day is coming up, I would like you to normalize talking about sex.
Sex is meant to be pleasurable, but for many, whether you are a man, woman, or identify as part of the LGBTQ community, it can be a source of pain and frustration. Dyspareunia, or painful intercourse, is more common than you might think, yet it’s often misunderstood or dismissed.
In this episode, we’re breaking the silence on this important topic—exploring the causes, misconceptions, and solutions to help women reclaim comfort and confidence in their intimate lives. Whether you’ve experienced it firsthand or want to better understand it, this conversation is for you!
Let’s discuss:
- Introduction to dyspareunia and its impact on quality of life
- Biomechanical factors contributing to pain during penetration
- The detailed questions pelvic floor therapists ask to identify root causes
- Examples of conditions that pelvic floor therapy can address, from sexual discomfort to medical exams
- The role of pelvic angles and positions in alleviating pain
- Tools and products (like dilators and the O-nut) that can assist therapy
- Conclusion: Encouragement for listeners to seek help and normalize the conversation about pain with penetration
