After almost 10 years of painful intercourse, this mum-of-two learnt she had PeVD

Three to four months after giving birth to her first child, Mary* (*not her real name) and her husband had sex. To her shock, the advertising specialist felt “a burning pain” upon penetration. In the days that came, the 37-year-old experienced discomfort “not unlike menstrual cramps”. More unpleasantness followed. “If I carried heavy things for long periods of time, I would have pelvic and lower back pain. Even passing motion led to aches,” the Croatian mum of two, who has been living in Singapore for nine years, shares.
