What Causes Pain During Intercourse?

Posted on Mon, 7 Aug 2017

Question: I am 29 years old and a virgin. I just got married a month ago. My husband and I have tried to have intercourse, but I am unable to bear the pain. We have tried different positions and I am lubricated sufficiently, but we are still unable to go through full penetration because I get extreme pain. He is only able to insert half and we both don't feel anything. Is there something wrong with me?

Brief Answer:
Try lignocaine gel

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

It seems you may get tense when he tries to penetrate. It results in tight closure of vagina, causing pain. You can try to put 1 or 2 fingers in vagina and keep them inside for 5 minutes each 2 times a day

You can also use lignocaine gel for an initial couple of penetrations. You can stop using it when you are comfortable.

I have tried using 1 finger and seem to have no problem with that. But two fingers is painful again. Is this normal? Is there any chance my vagina has some blockage?
