This is known as Dyspearunia or post coital pain. Constipation can aggravate the problem but you need to do an Ultrasound Pelvis to rule out any other cause. Meanwhile you can start Lactulose 20 ml at night regularly to avoid constipation, drink plenty of water and eat fruits and vegetables. Also if there is any vaginal discharge it needs treatment.
