- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-

- experience a sharp pain at my climax during sex. What should I do?

- ANSWER: You can start by finding a doctor who you can confide in, for only
- his evaluation is going to provide you with the personal answers you seek.
- There are many reasons for painful ejaculation. You'll be comforted, however,
- to know you are not alone--this is not an uncommon problem.
- Though it is difficult to guess at the cause in your case, here are a few
- possibilities. Sometimes the pain is caused by an obstruction, bacteria, or
- inflammation. Other times, it is simply caused by certain medications which
- have been found to cause painful ejaculation. An accurate diagnosis and
- treatment is dependent on a thorough history, examination and lab evaluation.
- Your doctor will need to know at what point the pain actually occurs--before,
- during, or after intercourse.
- It is also crucial to be able to tell the physician exactly where the
- pain occurs--the glans, penile shaft, scrotum or perineum. Once your doctor
- determines the cause of your problem, effective treatment can begin. And that
- will rid you of both the physical and emotional pain that is bothering you
- now.
