It's been about 4 months into my marriage, and we're having some struggles with our sexual life. Every time I try to penetrate, she experiences pain and we can't go through with it. It seems like nothing is working out despite several attempts. We even visited a gynaecologist, who said everything seemed normal and suggested using pelvic gel, but that hasn't helped. Could anyone recommend what else we might try to make things better?

It sounds like you may be experiencing difficulty with penetration during sexual intercourse. One possible solution to help with this issue is to use a topical numbing cream or gel to reduce pain and discomfort during penetration. You can try using lidocaine gel, applying a small amount to the tip of the penis before intercourse. This can help reduce sensitivity and discomfort for your partner, allowing for a smoother and more painless experience. Remember to follow the instructions for proper application and dosage.
