Ask Dr. Deb..Pain with Intercourse and Spina Bifida
Thursday, September 4th, 2008|
Dr. Deb, I am a Spina Bifida patient, and have had 8 back operations as a result. I haven’t been sexually active in quite sometime; but in the past I have noticed major pain during intercourse. I have a throbbing pain and burning sensation that continues after intercourse especially if Orgasm happens. I do not know the cause because I have not tested positive for any STDs. I wanted to know if my nerve damage could be the problem? Tarah |
