Question 1

I'm 23 and just starting to get into intercourse. The first time really hurt, and I actually had to ask my boyfriend to stop because the pain was unbearable, although I didn't bleed. When we tried again, entering was easier, but it still stung quite a bit. I've heard it takes time for it to stop hurting and start feeling good, but I'm wondering if I should get checked now that I'm becoming sexually active. How long is it normal to experience this pain before it turns pleasurable? We've been using condoms as I'm aware of the side effects of the pill, and thankfully, my periods haven't been affected yet. Is there anything we can do to lessen the pain, or any tips for this situation?

Accepted Answer

Considering your painful experiences during intercourse, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions like vaginismus, vaginal dryness, or anatomical issues; in the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, lubricants, and gradual, gentle penetration to reduce discomfort, and continue using condoms for contraception,

Question 2

I've been having some burning and pain down there after some oral and fingering. It even bled a bit after a few days, but I thought maybe that's normal since it was my first time. It's been over a week now, and while it doesn't hurt all the time, the pain and irritation just come and go randomly. Do you think there's something wrong with me?

Accepted Answer

You may have developed a vaginal infection or irritation due to the sexual activity. The symptoms of burning sensation, pain, and occasional bleeding could indicate an infection such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. I recommend using an over-the-counter antifungal medication like Monistat (clotrimazole) for a possible yeast infection. You can also try using a gentle feminine wash like Vagisil to help with irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 3

I'm dealing with clitoral adhesion and it's really painful when touched. When I try to stretch the hood, little white grain-like things come out and there's some inflammation. Do I need surgery for this?

Accepted Answer

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
