Other Reasons for Pain during Sex 

WebMD cites several other possibilities for pain during intercourse, including: 

• vaginal infections;
• issues with the cervix;
• ovarian cysts;
• inflammatory diseases;
• ectopic pregnancy;
• sexually transmitted diseases; and
• injury to the vagina, such as tearing during childbirth. 

Ways to Treat the Pain 

Treatment options depend on the condition causing the pain. For example, menopause-induced lubrication issues may be remedied with hormone replacement or artificial lubricants. More serious conditions, such as severe endometriosis, may require surgery.
