You may feel the pain in your external genitalia, inside your vagina, in your lower back, or anywhere in the pelvic region.
You may experience pain only at sexual penetration, or you may feel pain every time you use a tampon. The pain may even go away and return another time. Women describe the pain in various ways, including deep, burning, sharp, and aching. Sometimes the pain lasts for hours after intercourse.
