I am experiencing pain during sexual intercourse. I have been tested for infections and had blood tests, but everything came back normal. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

Pain during sex may be due to vaginal dryness, stress, or tight pelvic muscles. Rule out hormonal causes like low estrogen or thyroid imbalance. Use water based lubricants during intercourse. See a gynecologist for a Pelvic Ultrasound and physical exam. If needed, consult a pelvic floor therapist.
