Hello, whenever I try to have intercourse, as soon as he penetrates, I have a sharp pricking pinpoint pain in the bottom of the vaginal opening (just outside my vaginal opening, it feels like the skin at the bottom half opening is short and gets stretched and this pain stays for a day or two after that. It also causes discomfort and painful experience during sex. Can you help me identify what might be the issue? Thank you.

Hello- some women feel sharp stinging pains at the entry of their vagina and others feel the pain deep inside. Others hurt in their uterus or in other internal sexual organs. The fact is, no matter where you are feeling the pain, it is most assuredly related to the same cause. Dyspareunia may be experienced with sexual penetration. It can occur with certain sex partners or under certain circumstances, even while inserting a tampon. New pain (after previously pain-free intercourse), superficial entry pain, deep pain during thrusting, and burning or aching pains are all symptoms of dyspareunia. You and your partner may be able to minimize your dyspareunia with a few changes to your sex routine. Try being on top of your partner during sex. Women usually have more control in this position, so you may be able to regulate penetration to a depth that feels good to you. Communicate with your partner what feels good and what does not. Also, longer foreplay can help stimulate your natural lubrication and reduce the pain of penetration, as do synthetic lubricants.
