How To Handle It If Your Girlfriend Has Painful Orgasms

Knowing how to handle it if your girlfriend has painful orgasms is something many are struggling with. Its confusing and scary for both partners. When a woman is having painful orgasms, it is very important that you be a supportive partner and try to be sensitive to what she may be going through.

  1. She needs to see a doctor, immediately. Some women hate going to a doctor over issues that seem small. Do not let her "wait and see what happens". This is often fear speaking. You must be insistent. If that means going with her to her appointment, or even scheduling the appointment for her, do it.
  2. Don't take it personally. Because of the pain during orgasms, it may be difficult for her to be in the mood. Knowing the pain that is looming, she will be reluctant to want to engage in anything with you. Don't take this personally! Let her know that you understand and be supportive of her decisions.
  3. Do your homework. Often times, women's health issues are confusing and tough to handle. Do some research online. Read up on women's issues. She may have done this, if not, then you can help her solve what may be happening to her. Her pain could be caused by cysts growing on her ovaries. It could be cause by scar tissues or abnormal uterine lining. Whatever the case may be, at least you can begin to try and understand what is happening with her body. This would also help engage in a discussion with her and is a great way to show your support.
  4. Find alternative ways to engage sexually. Women don't always need to have an orgasm during sex. Granted, it is much better when both parties climax. However, she probably won't want to feel like a burden to you. Her not having an orgasm does not equal you not having an orgasm. Talk with her about ways you can be satisfied without her feeling any pain. Perhaps you can begin foreplay and if you start to do something that will get her to climax, stop and move on to something else.
  5. Make sure she knows you are there for her. Having pain during an orgasm is certainly not a typical problem. This can cause some form of embarrassment or insecurity. Make it a point to let her know that she isn't abnormal just because of an abnormal issue. Share with her anything you feel insecure about yourself and open up a bit. This will reassure her that no one is perfect, but that you are there for her and will be a supportive partner.
