Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
There are so many causes of pain during sexual intercourse, it could be due to vaginal or urinary tract infection, dryness and vaginismus.
You can treat infections if it is due to that,you can use lubricant either lidnocaine jelly or K-y jelly, you can involve in more foreplay and do some pelvic muscles exercise to relieve pain.
