When it comes to sex, what we only think of is pleasure. However, unhealthy sexual practices can lead to serious injuries thereby making sex painful.
Here are 5 most common sex injuries and how to avoid them:
1. Soreness in the vagina: Soreness in the vagina is the most common injury experienced during sex, and this is caused by lack of lubrication. Over-the-counter painkillers or a lukewarm bath can help heal it.
2. Muscle injuries: Sex is a high intensity activity, and it can lead to muscle injury. Most times, the thigh and calf are the most affected during intercourse. Over-the-counter painkillers and massage can help.

3. Carpet burn: This occurs when you have sex on your rug or carpet. It can give you a burning sensation. Try spreading a soft blanket on the rug if you want to have fun on the floor or you disinfect the area with soap and water.
4. Cuts and tears in the vagina: A cut and tear in the vagina occurs when there is insufficient lubrication during sex. This injury can be prevented by lubricating the vagina very well through lots of foreplay or store-bought lubes before intercourse.
5. Penile fracture: Although this is a very rare sex injury, it also happens and in men only. Penile fracture occurs when an erect penis is forcefully hit and the blood-laden chambers inside it breaks. This sex injury requires urgent medical attention.
