This condition can affect both men and women, and can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, nerve damage, and certain medications. Treatment for odynorgasmia typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the pain.

• Prostatitis: This is an inflammation of the prostate gland, which can cause pain during or after orgasm in men.
• Endometriosis: This is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, which can cause pain during or after orgasm in women.
• Nerve damage: Damage to the nerves in the pelvic area can cause pain during or after orgasm.
• Medications: Certain medications, particularly those used to treat depression and anxiety, can cause odynorgasmia.

• Pain during intercourse

• Anxiety or depression related to sexual activity

Treatment

• Antibiotics: If the pain is caused by an infection, antibiotics may be prescribed.
