Normally there should be no pain at this stage. If you feel significant pain, enough to try to avoid sex, there could be many causes- fear of pain leading to spasm of perineal muscles, anxiety causing dryness , infection of vagina or cervix, . Please get it examined by Gyne doctor per speculum and try to relax. at the time of sex. If still you feel pain, you can use KY jelly for lubrication . If your partner helps to improve and vary foreplay, it will be good.
