Hi Chloe.
Pain after sex is common but this isnt normal. There can be problem in vaginal dryness,infection or some pelvic disorders (ovarian cyst or endometriosis). If you feel pain only after sex i dont think this is serious. There can be some irritation and you should get used to it after some time. If pain persist you should do gyn exAM with ultrasound.
Dilated veins are commonly seen in abdominal wall and this isnt sign of something significant.
WIsh you good helath.
