Brief Answer:
It could be vaginismus

Detailed Answer:
Dear Rajnita,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

From the available description it appears that you suffer with vaginismus which is a form of sexual disorder characterised by involuntary contraction of outer one third of vagina.

Being a supportive partner is important thing but sometime it is not enough. Few patients need a great deal of counselling and it appears that you need proper counselling. I will request you to see a psychiatrist without any delay.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
