Painful s3x

I recently got married. Since I started having s3x with my husband which is my first experience, the s3x has always been painful. Kindly advise me on what to do.

Painful s3x is a problem many shove under the covers, since it can be awkward to discuss, even with a doctor. But if you’re dealing with it, you’re far from alone. Discomfort during intercourse is exceedingly common, with nearly three-quarters of women experiencing it at some point in their lives. In addition, up to six in 10 women report painful s3x during the ramp-up to menopause and beyond. The likely causes of the problem can range from psychological to physical causes. For this reason, a complete medical examination by a specialist doctor will be very helpful.
