I have pain in my vagina during penetration what to do. It's not constant

Hello,

When pain is felt during vaginal penetration, the medical term "dyspareunia" is used to describe this problem. There are several reasons for this pain and one of them is a lack of lubrication.

Using a vaginal lubricant during intercourse or prolonging foreplay could help you stop feeling pain if this is the cause in your situation.

However, I encourage you to consult your doctor since other causes are possible and he or she will be able to clearly identify them and offer you the appropriate treatment if necessary.

I hope that I have answered your question correctly,
