What are the ways to overcome pain during sexual intercourse?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old female. I have been dating a guy for the past ten years. I do not have the urge to indulge in sexual activities. We indulge in other physical activities like foreplay but not sex. We tried having sexual intercourse, but I was in pain. I do not get aroused despite having foreplay. All this is making my partner frustrated. I am worried if I can have sex in the future as we are planning to get married soon.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. First of all, the reason for the problem should be found. You have tried doing sex twice, but due to pain, it failed. This means that you have libido, but due to pain, you cannot have good sexual intercourse. The reason could be psychological, physical, or both. Have you ever tried fingering your vagina? The physical issue can be ruled out if you can push a finger in the vagina without much pain. If you have never tried it, then you can try this. Also, use good lubrication during penetration.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
