Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

The possible causes for your situation may be due to the following reasons:

Dryness: This could be due to infection, inadequate foreplay, dehydration, age, or hormonal imbalance. Increasing foreplay or using lubricants may help.
Injury: Dryness may lead to injury, especially during deep penetration or certain sexual positions.
Local infection: Please provide a picture for confirmation.
Vaginismus: Fear during sex can cause genital muscles to contract, resulting in pain. Increasing foreplay duration may help reduce fear and increase comfort.
Congenital abnormality.
History of genital surgery.
Injury to the cervix: This may occur during penetration.
Fibroids: Confirm the diagnosis through an abdominal ultrasound.

I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.
