Sister, when having sex, it hurts a lot. What causes this? The pain can arise from many reasons, which can be divided into physical and mental causes. Physical causes include obvious pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, and friction that may cause injury. Mental causes may include feelings of unpreparedness for sex, insufficient foreplay, past experiences, and emotions during previous sexual encounters that lead to anxiety and fear, affecting future experiences. It’s important to find the cause and address it… Where does it hurt? How does it hurt? Does it hurt during penetration or are there other symptoms? Are there any wounds? Consider these questions.
6 Tips for Preparing for the Next Sexual Encounter Under the Readiness of Both Partners ^^
1. Reduce anxiety. Even if previous sexual encounters caused pain, stress can cause vaginal muscles to contract, making penetration more painful.
2. Plan for contraception to prevent unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The best method is using condoms along with effective contraception methods such as monthly birth control pills, IUDs, or contraceptive implants.
3. Lubricants can help reduce pain during penetration and prevent tearing. However, do not use oil-based gels as they can degrade condoms.
4. Talk with your partner to find a solution together, which can greatly reduce anxiety.
5. Get to know your own body and find the right angle for penetration to reduce pain. Most women’s vaginas are not perfectly vertical or horizontal but tend to angle towards the back or front.
6. Take it slow during penetration and increase the duration of foreplay: the vagina will produce more lubrication, reducing pain.
Finally, if you’re not confident about the situation and still feel pain, try adjusting and following the above methods. If there’s no improvement, consult a gynecologist for advice on pain during sex.
