Pain during sex has ruined my confidence and relationship. I can’t explain my pain to my partner. The doctor said it’s because of deep endometriosis. Are there effective non-surgical pain-management options (physio, nerve blocks, medications), or is surgery usually the only way to get real relief?

Deep endometriosis can make sex very painful because of scarring and inflammation. Some women get relief from pelvic floor physiotherapy, nerve-modulating medicines, or even local nerve blocks. These approaches may not cure the disease but they can improve comfort and intimacy. Surgery can provide more lasting relief in many cases, but it depends on the extent of disease and your fertility plans. Combining supportive therapies with medical or surgical treatment often helps best.
