Suggest Treatment For Pain In Vagina During Penetration

It seems like there s maybe a lot of muscle (or tissue, not sure) in my opening. It makes it difficult to put two fingers in, and penetration seems almost impossible because it hurts a lot. And if I make a pushing motion (almost like giving birth) those muscles rise a bit. I m only 19 and I m not sure what this is or if it s normal.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Many women experience pain during intercourse. Common causes include vaginal dryness, yeast infections, having an STD, urinary tract infection, and friction from sex. Other gynecological causes include uterine fibroid, endometriosis, ovarian cyst, and vaginismus. It is better for go to a gynecologist in your area for diagnosis and treatment.
There are things in which a man or woman can do on their own to help alleviate the pain:
1.     Communicate with one other, so that each person knows what is going on.
2.     Use lubricants to help with lubrication, as this can help make sex easier
3.     Consider switching positions, as this can sometimes help to alleviate the pain
4.     Don’t rush sex, as the longer that foreplay lasts, the more arousal, hence lubrication, will occur naturally.
Medicines
5.     Antibiotics can used to treat infection but it needs to be confirmed by inspection and test
6.     Apply K – Y lubricating jelly for vaginal dryness
Thanks
