What Causes Painful Intercourse And Difficult Penetration?

VAGINAL YEAST INFECTION.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comment:
First time sexual intercourse is often painful due to tight vaginal introitus, dry vagina, pelvic or vaginal infection, tough or unruptured hymen etc.
However, we need to rule out vaginal yeast infection in this context through SWAB culture test. Kindly, consult with gynecologist for clinical examination and complete prescription.
TREATMENT: 1) Vaginal suppository or cream like combined Clindamycin and Clotrimazole can be used for 5-7 days.
2) Use vaginal moisturizer cream like RepHresh pH gel or VAGISIL cream to avoid repeated irritation and maintain vaginal pH. Maintain genital hygiene properly.
3) You must use WATER based lubricant gel like KY Jelly or Astroglide Gel prior to intimation or sexual intercourse for smooth sex and to overcome pain.
4) Wear only COTTON underwear. Don't wear any tight fitting cloths or pants to avoid repeated friction/ irritation. Remove WET underwear at the earliest.
5) Take healthy diet with anti oxidant (like Vitamin -E or C, Selenium, Zinc etc) supplements. Drink plenty of water or juice for better systemic circulation. You must AVOID salty, sugary or fatty foods. Low-oxalate diet is preferred.
6) Avoid chemical cosmetics, soaps/ perfume or scented bath products around genital area. Keep the area mostly dry.
Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.
Wish your good health and take care yourself.

Hello,
Thanks for follow up query.
1) Swab Culture test and clinical examination will confirm the diagnosis. You should contact with healthcare provider or gynecologist regarding this.
2) Pelvic or vaginal infection, painful sexual intercourse, vaginal dryness, repeated friction can lead to above clinical presentation. You should maintain genital hygiene properly.
3) Genital herpes is also to be ruled out in this context as it is associated with cluster of cold sore on the outer surface of genital region, burning and itching sensation. In that case, you may need one course of anti-viral medicine like Acyclovir etc. Kindly, procure a complete prescription from your doctor.
Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion.
