Hello, For relief, you can take acetaminophen or naproxen, one stat after food. Relax and stay at rest. Take food in time and keep yourself adequately hydrated. This condition could be sometimes due to emotional factors such as stress or anxiety. Avoid stress and anxiety. It is important for women to get ready for penetrative intercourse not only physically but also mentally. Allow your partner to go slow and tell him to prolong foreplay so that you are adequately wet. Foreplay and adequate lubrication will help you get ready and relaxed. Don t let your muscles and vagina get tensed. Just let yourself relax well with your partner. Underlying medical conditions like dyspareunia and vaginismus, involuntary vaginal spasms can cause similar symptoms. Infections like chlamydia, yeast or herpes Infections and malignancy in the uterus, cervix or vagina can also cause pain and discomfort after having intercourse. You are advised to get clinically examined by a Gynae. Get required blood tests and imaging tests done so that the pathology can be detected, and treatment started at the earliest. If the reports show normal result, then be relaxed and get yourself mentally and physically ready and aroused before penetrative sex. You will be fine, just go slow. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
