My wife and I are not being able to have sex. Shortly after marriage when I entered her body, she had a lot of pain in the vagina. It happens every time we have sex. This is causing us a lot of frustration. What should we do?

Sexual pain during intercourse is often overlooked and normalised during sex because of the stigma attached to sex. But it should not be. It is not normal to experience pain during intercourse and you should take her to an OB/GYN doctor for physical examination and medical treatment if necessary. There are a range of reasons that can lead to pain during penetration – lack of lubrication, genital inflammation, vaginal infection, vaginismus, fibroids, problems with cervix, history of sexual abuse, stress, ovarian cysts, etc. Depending on the diagnosis, possible treatment options include pelvic floor physical therapy, medications, topical creams. In the meantime, support your wife as both of you go through the treatment and check-up. It is not her fault, and she is not doing it intentionally. With a majority of patients, it gets resolved; yes it will take time but there is so much hope.
