The Queens pol is scheduled to plead Do you experience pain or discomfort during sex? It’s more common – and treatable – than you think. Sexual pain, or dyspareunia, affects nearly three out of four women at some point in their lives. For some, the pain is temporary, while for others it is a long-term problem. Unfortunately, many people with sexual pain suffer silently. Sonia Bahlani, MD, a gynecologist at the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology, part of North Shore-LIJ Health System, discusses what you need to know about this condition. What causes pain during sex? There are many causes of sexual pain in women. Many causes may be gynecologic in nature, while others may be secondary to systemic changes within the body. Infections, post-menopausal changes, neuropathic (nerve fiber) or muscular pain disorders, and dermatologic (hair/nails/skin) changes may all play into sexual pain. Pain during sex also may be caused by problems with sexual response, such as a lack of desire or a lack of arousal. It is important to seek help from a healthcare professional because many causes of sexual pain can be treated. Who experiences pain with sex? Anyone in any age group can have sexual pain. Hormonal changes can often cause changes in sexual function, but because many factors may come into play, an extensive workup — a physical, medical tests, a medical history review — is usually required.

Along with the guilty plea, Scarborough is expected to vacate the 29th Assembly District seat that he first assumed in 1995. Scarborough is also facing a 23-count state indictment charging him with withdrawing and diverting over $40,000 from his campaign account to use for personal expenses.
