Intercourse is possible only with the help of coconut oil or lubricants. Is this normal?

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

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I got married for 1.5 years, and we have been trying for kids for the past one year. Whenever I try to have sex with my wife, it becomes very tight, but then we use coconut oil then it goes easily inside. Is it normal or anything problematic?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and will try to help you out. See, reproduction is a complex procedure, but it is as simple because the urge in us makes it easy.

What I will suggest you is that do not rush for intercourse. It is a natural process that just flows with it. Start with the foreplay, this will help in reducing the tightening problem and you will not need coconut oil for the lubrication.

Secondly, what I will suggest you is that you should keep the track record of your wife's menstrual cycle. The day your wife starts bleeding is called day 1. From the day one count until day 11. In these 11 days, you will not be able to make an embryo. But from day 11 - 18 is the fertile period. This is the time to do intercourse.

And if this method is also not working then, you both should go to the nearby clinic for further testing of sperm and ovaries.

I hope this helps.
