Will A Small Vaginal Entrance Lead To Painful Intercourse?
Hello, I am concerned my vagina is extremely small about the width of a small finger. I was able to insert a small tampon but have never attempted to have sexual intercourse. I am afraid I will never be able to have sex successfully. Is there a medical procedure to diagnose this or will I forever not be able to have sex or children? What should I tell my primary doctor when I go for a visit? I have not been able to do a pap smear yet. I am very confused about my vagina and so are my friends about my sexual life and dating life.

Hello,
Almost no vagina is too tight for intercourse. Sometimes, however, you have to help prepare a bit more for penetration. In its unaroused state, the vagina is three to four inches long.
That might not seem long enough for some penises or sex toys. But when you’re aroused, your vagina grows longer and wider. It also releases a natural lubricant.
If you experience pain or difficulty with penetration, it may be a sign you weren’t adequately aroused, not that you’re too tight.
Additionally, pain during penetration may be a sign of a condition such as infection, injury, or congenital abnormality.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
