Why do i feel so much pain during intercourse?

Question

Once someone told it might be related to age, but im only 22.
help me, any tips?

Answer 1

It may hurt the first time but after that it shouldn't. It is possible that you have a strong hymen that needs to be releasd by a surgical procedure. Or you might be anticipating pain and not able to relax and lubricate well. Try a longer foreplay and a lubricant like KY or something similar. Take it slow so there is no tensing. Good luck.

Answer 2

This is very normal for people who either (a) have only recently become sexually active, and/or (b) are not frequently sexually active. This is particularly normal for younger people, simply because when you get older your body loses some of its natural elastic tension. My advice:
1. Stretch. Stretch any tissues that might make 'accommodation' difficult and painful.
2. Prepare. If the problem is abrasion, use lubrication. Don't rush. Make sure you and your partner give your body time to prepare for intercourse. Enjoy some activities before intercourse to get you completely in the mood. Relax. Drink some wine.
3. Don't overdue. Don't try for a marathon right away. Keep it brief and gentle, and keep it simple. Nothing fancy at first. Give your body time to overcome issues of over-sensitivity.
Good luck.

Answer 3

Have you always had pain, or is this a new thing?

You may have an infection - even small movement of the cervix in someone who has a gynecological infection can be extremely painful. Do you have any bleeding after sex, or any discharge?

In general, having a retroverted uterus (one that lies differently in your pelvis) shouldn't be a big deal, or cause any pain. Although, I suppose if you had some kind of anatomical difference you may have difficulty having intercourse.

Regardless, you need to get a pelvic exam, get tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia, etc. Good luck.

One of the most common primary causes of vaginal pain during intercourse is a dry vagina. Usually, when a woman is sexually aroused, fluids are secreted in the vagina that keep the lining well lubricated. But if a woman is not sexually aroused, or if fluids are not secreted for some other reason, intercourse can cause very painful damage to the vaginal lining. And in some cases, the lining of the vagina can actually tear, resulting in post-intercourse bleeding.

Another common cause of vaginal discomfort during intercourse is bacterial infection. This occurs frequently in women, and an antibiotic will generally cure the problem within a week or so. A related problem is bladder infections. While the problem may be in the bladder or urethra, not in the vagina, it often causes discomfort during intercourse.

There are other diseases that can cause pain or discomfort during intercourse. Vaginal endometriosis is one of them. When your doctor examines you for possible bacterial infection, be sure to ask him or her about endometriosis, because it is often overlooked during an examination. Your doctor examination will also be able to check for any vaginal tumors or venereal diseases that may be causing your discomfort. These problems may take longer to treat than bacterial infections, but whatever the problem turns out to be, don't have intercourse until it has been overcome.

If you have experienced vaginal bleeding after intercourse, your doctor should also be able to identify its source, and treat it for you. Sometimes a scratch or tear in the lining caused by something other than intercourse can be the cause of your problem.

It is very important for you to be comfortable with regular pelvic examinations. Otherwise you may let a medical problem become so far advanced that it causes you permanent injury. If you are embarrassed to see a male doctor, find a female doctor.

If your doctor can identify the source of your vaginal discomfort, don't have intercourse until the problem is treated and overcome to his or her satisfaction. Some problems can be treated in a week or less, while others, like endometriosis may take months to overcome.

I was unfortunate and was diagnosed with endometriosis. At 24 I was forced into a complete hysterectomy. I am blessed to have the son that I have. I was pregnant and right after giving birth, my complications got worse and I had to have a hysterectomy.

Treatment if caught early can be simple. Please, see you doctor, speak to someone about this.

Endometrial tissue lines the uterus. Each month, in tune with the menstrual cycle, the endometrial tissue thickens and is shed during menstruation.

If you have endometriosis, it means that the same kind of tissue that lines your uterus is also growing in other parts of your body, usually in the abdomen. This can cause scar tissue to build up around your organs.

Endometriosis may cause severe pain and abnormal bleeding, usually around the time of your period. Pain during intercourse is another common symptom. If left untreated, this can cause inability to get pregnant.

Seeing a physician, that is my recommendation. This way you can rule out the greater of the three.

Answer 5

It could be many different things...
1. The size of your partner
2. The way you are made - can't change this
3. Infection - see doc immediately
4. The position you are in
5. If condoms are used, may be allergic to certain type, thus irritating you

I would suggest you and your partner try different positions where you can control how much is in. You many need more foreplay to get relaxed. If that fail, speak with your Gynecologist.

Answer 6

It could be for the reasons already given, howver, it might also be due to the fact that your not relaxed enough with your boyfriend, anxiety worrying about the pain can make it more difficult to relax. Try traking things slower and working on more foreplay. However either way seeing your GP for advice would help.

Answer 7

It could be a number of issues.

Maybe you're not lubricated enough?
Maybe you're nervous and tensing up?
Maybe you have an infection?
Maybe you have ovarian cysts?
Maybe you have a tilted uterous.

Or you could be like me and have vulvar vestitus.

Either way, I think a gynecologist visit is in order! Good luck!
