Suggest A Medicine To Help Resolve Painful Intercourse

Is there an over the counter topical medication to help with painful intercourse? I have used a compound in the past, but don't want the expense since my husband and I won't be having sex all that often. But when we do, it is extremely painful. Thank you.

Hello dear
I understand your concern

Pain during intercourse mostly due to nervousness of pain during intercourse. So during intercourse there is constriction of vaginal & anal sphicter and perineal muscle.

You can take following advises:
Insert penis very slowly, once you feel pain then stop more insertion and divert mind toward other thing, do some other movement.
Breath during mouth at the time of insertion. It will relax anal and vaginal sphincter.

Use water based lubricant like K-Y gel during intercourse.
It make entry of penis very smooth and painless.
Avoid oil based lubrication

Also rule out any vaginal / urinary infection, pelvic inflammatory disorder by consulting gynecologist is problem remain persist.

Other things that will use if problem persists:
Couple of psychological counselling is given along with pelvic floor training by experts.
Medications like anxiolytic and botox can be use at last.
Avoid stress, take healthy diet, drink plenty of water, maintain proper pelvic hygiene and do regular exercise.
Hope this may help you
