Hi,
I wanted to help provide some answers to your questions!
Yes, prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate, that only men have. The list Tina provided were reasons for pain during intercourse for both men and women.
Endometriosis: The lining of the uterus is called the endometrium. Sometimes, endometrial tissue grows elsewhere in the body. When this happens it is called endometriosis. You can read more about this here
Vaginismus and Pain During Intercourse. You can read more about these conditions at the ACOG site here. This online brochure recommends locating the place(s) of your pain:
"During sex a woman may feel pain in the vulva, at the opening of the vagina, within the vagina, or deep inside. Vulvar pain is pain felt on the surface (outside) of the vagina. Vaginal pain is felt within the vagina. Deep pain can occur in the lower back, pelvic region, uterus, and bladder.
Different types of pain have different causes. It's important to find the cause because you may have problems that need medication, surgery, or counseling."
