Ouch, sounds painful. Don't forget you can use artificial lubricant if needed. :>) So, this will heal. I'd give it a little break with the sex action. And something that helps to relieve pain is Tucks wipes left in your underpants. Yep, it helps. Ibuprofen is a pain reliever. After having a baby, women are told to use a squirt bottle and squirt room temp water on themselves as they pee as that can sting. It may itch a little bit as it heals. But yes, it can take a bit longer to heal. Hang in there.
