Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

It is normal to have a small vaginal hole. With proper foreplay and when you get secretions, you may be able to have intercourse. Some people experience pain and tightness when they try to have vaginal sex for the first time. The hymen is a thin, fleshy tissue that stretches across the opening of your vagina. Hymens have at least one opening allowing menstrual blood out of your body. Some people may have more hymenal tissue than others, and stretching it open during the first time while having vaginal sex may cause pain or bleeding.

If you are worried about discomfort or pain while having intercourse, you can prepare yourself by slowly stretching the hymen with your fingers. If this continues to be a concern for you, I suggest you consult a doctor.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
