Dyspareunia is the medical term for painful intercourse. Pain during penetrations is often the result of insufficient lubrication. Not enough foreplay can cause this. There could be other reasons, such as an infection in the genital area or urinary tract. Eczema or other skin problems in your genital area also can be the problem.
Begin with the commonest cause, insufficient lubrication. Try not rushing and engage in longer foreplay to help stimulate your natural lubrication. You may reduce pain by delaying penetration until your feel fully aroused.
Using a lubricant can make sex more comfortable. Read labels carefully or consult your doctor to recommend a product. For some women, a lubricant that contains glycerin can promote yeast infections.
If these two measures do not help, consult your gynecologist to determine the cause of your pain during intercourse.
