What causes difficulty during penetration while having sex for the first time?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am trying to have sex with my husband for the first time. I did not do any sort of sexual activities before marriage. This is my first time. He finds difficulty in penetrating as my vagina did not allow it and it was so tough for me to handle. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query and understand your concern. There is always a difficulty in the initial stages for intercourse to occur. This is called vaginismus in which case there is a sudden spasm of the vagina so that it does not allow the intercourse to happen. So in such cases, there is always a good habit to have foreplay before intercourse so that you are in a relaxed mood so that the spasm is avoided and intercourse can happen. even. After this, if you have a problem in intercourse then I should advise you to get yourself examined physically by a gynaecologist for any organic pathology.

Thank you.
