Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My partner and I have been trying to have penetrative sex since the last four months, but we cannot do so. I am a virgin, and the penetration is really painful. The muscles tense up when penetration is attempted. We can insert a finger, but penis indentation seems impossible. And it hurts a lot. What to do?

Answered by Dr. J. N. Naidu

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do not worry. Initially, some women encountered this problem. Please understand that vagina is elastic, and it can stretch easily, and entry of the penis will not be painful. Proper arousal is essential. Foreplay in kissing the neck, breasts, and abdomen increases vaginal secretions so that penis entry will be easy. You can ask your partner to introduce one finger, two fingers, and three fingers slowly so that you will become confident that the vagina can stretch. If you still face the problem, please get back to me.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
