Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My husband and I tried to have sexual intercourse and have a baby, but my husband's penis did not enter my vagina till now. We have been married for one year. When he was trying to enter, it was very painful to me, and I pushed him aside, but we wanted a baby. Can you please give any suggestions?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I thoroughly read your query and understand your concern.

You have a condition called vaginismus which is involuntary muscle spasms that cause pain during intercourse. It is a common issue with most likely emotional causes.

Suggested treatment is stepwise:

1. Foreplay is strongly suggested, and doing kegel exercises regularly, as well as using a vaginismus kit, could help.

2. Is there any bleeding while intercourse?

Please provide me with more details in order to reach the appropriate decision.

Wish you all well being.

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