Things to Consider When Experiencing Back Pain During Sex

Here are some ways to enjoy intimacy without back pain:

• Consult a spine specialist to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan for your back pain. Untreated pain causes frustration, anger, and depression that can affect your personal relationships.
• Talk openly to your spine specialist about sex and back pain. Also involve your partner during the discussion to share the concerns.
• Get advice about positions that allow the back to be supported and relaxed, during sex. This makes sex more comfortable and allows you to be intimate without causing further pain.
• Stop immediately, if your back pain aggravates during sex.
