Pain during s*x is more common than many people realise, yet countless women suffer in silence — feeling confused, ashamed, or believing they "simply" have to endure it. In this episode, Dr Uko Iko-Ojo Samuel joins Dr Tammy Lawson (DrTammylicious) to discuss the medical realities of painful intercourse (Dyspareunia), exploring why it happens, common causes, available treatments, and when to seek help. Understanding the cause is often the first step toward healing, restoring intimacy, and improving overall well-being.
