Sexualhealth.com does not diagnose potential medical problems. If you feel that the pain you and your girlfriend are experiencing during sex is due to a health condition, it would be wise to be thoroughly examined by a physician. Painful sex is a condition that can occur in men or women for a number of reasons. For example, your thrusting may be too fast-paced, or you might be in an awkward position that's too uncomfortable for penetration, or you could have a urinary tract infection, sexually transmitted infection, an allergy to latex or spermicide, or an inflamed bladder. All of these potential causes should be discussed with a doctor. Other reasons women specifically may experience pain during sex include: a lack of natural lubrication in the vagina, perhaps because of a lack of sexual arousal; a vagina that is too snug for intercourse; the uterus not being raised so that the penis comes in contact with the cervix during penetration (because she's not fully aroused); medical problems, like PID, fibroids, and inflammation of the uterus lining; vaginismus (a condition in which the vaginal muscles are extremely tight); infections; first time sex – breakage of the hymen; reproductive tract disorders, as well as a host of other reasons. If medical reasons have been ruled out, make sure that you're not rushing through sex - that you're not rushing to enter her before she's fully ready for you. It takes most women on average 20 minutes of foreplay before their uterus is elevated enough for comfortable penetration. Best, Yvonne K. Fulbright
