Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I did not have sex before, but I have been fingering and I never felt comfortable. I tried having sex in the past but it never went in and I am not sure if it is my anxiety not letting me. One partner described it when he tried fingering me that it was like a wall and was not letting it through. It just makes me worry if I will ever be able to have sex with my current partner.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The wall is the hymen which is not letting you have sex. It is a thin delicate membrane. With proper penetration and intercourse, it will rupture. There is nothing to worry about and you can have sex. Just see that you have proper lubrication and secretions. However, if you have a doubt then get back to me.

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