Hello,
This is called dyspareunia. But in most of the cases in healthy women, the cause remains psychological.
To explain further, there may be slight bleeding due to mild tearing of hymen which covers your vaginal entrance and the pain should be very light as if an abrasion, but you need to relax at that very moment and take deeper breaths to allow penetration.
Once the penetration is done then the vaginal muscles shall relax and natural cervical fluids shall further lubricate the vagina decreasing frictional pain and you should be comfortable.
Also advisable is to spend time on foreplay to allow better lubrication of vagina and also use of lubricants during the first time.
Use of lignocaine or prilocaine jelly is often advised to make the local area numb for at least 1/2 hr which assists penetration. You can apply it both at the entrance and even at the inside walls initially without any side effect.
The only disadvantage is that it will decrease your perception of any local sensations which sex can bring in. You may try these options and feel free to discuss further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
