Hi,

Firstly, you need to exclude any sexually transmitted infection as your partner has lately undergoing circumcision procedure. There are additional signs for these such as discharge from vagina. As you mentioned you have suffered from depression and probably you have been treated for this.

Some kind of antidepressants cause dryness of the vagina as another possible cause of your painful intercourse. I suggest you going to your doctor and asking for tests needed for diagnosing STI if you have other signs or changing the treatment used against depression and not taking the medications mentioned by you.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Julinda Maksuti, General Surgeon
