Brief Answer:
Vaginal skin tag reflects as vertical band of tissue.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for writing to us. I have reviewed attached image.

Your vagina looks almost normal. Vertical band of tissue is NOTHING but vaginal skin tag. When the hymen breaks after first time sex, the broken edges heal as skin tags.

The intact hymen comes in many shapes and sizes and leaves remnants that will also display different shapes and sizes. Long hymen tags may sometimes become inflamed and look strange to "freak you out". They can be removed in the office under local anesthesia in a matter of few minutes.

In general, when you will arouse or excite, the vaginal canal lengthens & expands so that your partner can enter his penis and you will produce vaginal lubrication (to prevent uncomfortable friction from thrusting).

However, I think that you were just nervous, anxious and have fear of pain during sexual intercourse which may cause your vaginal muscles to tighten, makes the penetration more difficult and painful.

Urinary tract infection and STD should be ruled out by routine urine examination and STD profile. Vaginal swab test should be done.

Steps to be done for easy and smooth sexual intercourse:

1) Next time, you must indulge in lots of foreplay to arouse yourself in top level to increase your vaginal lubrication before penetration.

2) You would be in more relaxed state and both of you will create a romantic environment so that you can focus and enjoy your sex.

3) It will also help if you add water-based lube (like KY gel etc) to your vagina for easier penetration. Make it a part of Foreplay by having he lube you, then return the favor and ready to apply it on condom-covered erected penis right before he enters.

4) It's important that you must communicate to him what feels good and what doesn't. You can let him know what you need by saying like a little slower or harder or just like that and so on.

5) Also, you can try a woman-on-top position, which will put you in control of the depth and rhythm. Once you get used to the ins and outs of sex, it should be a lot more comfortable and fun.

I suggest you to consult with your treating doctor or Psychologist to get rid of fear or anxiety during sex. You may require some medication for that.

Hope, I have answered your query. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query.

Wish your good health and take care. Good luck.

Brief Answer:
Hymen is torn, but slight narrow vagina.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for uploading images. I have reviewed them.

In my opinion, vagina is slightly NARROW still now (though hymen is ruptured or torn already) and you need to involve in sexual intercourse at frequent interval to expand and for smoother activity.

I can suggest another thing to expand vagina. You can practice fingering or masturbation 2-3 times weekly. It is quite helpful in your case. Maintain proper hygiene during each activity.

Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion. Good luck.
