It depends, as every person is different. For some, attempting sex when it’s painful can cause the pelvic floor muscles to become even more tense, potentially worsening symptoms. If this sounds like you, it’s important to work with your pelvic PT to create a plan for changing your pelvic floor’s response before resuming sexual activity.
For others, sexual activity may actually help ease their symptoms. The key is to listen to your body and work closely with your pelvic PT to find the right approach for you.
