Difficulty In Having Sex Due To Fear Of Pain While Breaking Hymen. Any Suggestions?
hello! I'm a married woman. every time my husband try to break my hymen I freak out. he is a very gentle man, he take it slowly but I still fear the pain. i'm thinking about going to a doctor but my question is: if the doctor cuts my hymen will this hurt? will he use anesthetic? I know that I have a normal hymen not a tough one.
Hello Thanks for writing to us with your health query. What you have is called vaginismus. IT is a psychological disorder where women fear vaginal penetration. The hymen is a flimsy delicate tissue. Breaking / rupture of the hymen does not cause any pain, only slight spotting sometimes. For this condition , you have to visit a gynecologist. A hymen does not need to be ' cut '. With gentle finger dilatation, the doctor will explain to you how vaginal penetration can be done. Anesthesia is usually not required, except in very severe cases, if you just do not understand / co operate. Please seek medical attention before this condition affects your married life. Take care.
