What Causes Painful Intercourse?
I am 63 this year and sex is very painful. I had a full hysterectomy at 29 and feel as though for lack of a better term that I am being ripped open at the point of penetration. I have tried lubricants but am still having the horrible pain. It is scary to have intercourse with my husband who is also afraid of hurting me.

Hello,
Considering your age, the cause of painful intercourse may be vaginal atrophy due to lack of female sex hormone, estrogen.
You may consult a physician or gynecologist for Hormone replacement therapy and some local estrogens preparation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
