Hi, I am 26 and I'm trying to conceive for the past 3 months but no luck.I have regular 28 day cycle and the menstrual period last for about 2-3 days. I had given my pap test and it was normal.

Hi.
I've gone through your query and I can understand your anxiety.

Pain during & after intercourse usually results from uterine contractions. Factors which triggers such contractions could be
- Hormone prostaglandins present in semen
- mechanical stimulation of the cervix and lower portion of the uterus
- Any pelvic floor muscle spasm
- Also uterine fibroids or endometriosis (where radiation to back, legs is commonly seen)

I advice you to,
- Try sex- position that causes less spasms
- Analgesics
- Lubricants
- Consult a gynaecologist to do investigations to rule out fibroids, endometriosis etc
- Also exercises to relax pelvic muscles.

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

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
