sexual discomfort

[emc012]

I'm 23 yrs old and recently lost my virginity. The first time I bled afterwards for about 2-3 days and I experienced pain during sex. Since then I continue to have pain when he's entering me, it takes about 5 minutes because it hurts. I'm not sure if my hymen was broken, could this be why he's having trouble entering? During sex, I don't feel a lot of pain, it's only at the beginning. The last time we had sex, I did feel almost like a pop and afterwards I went to the bathroom and noticed some light bleeding with small specks of tissue. Could this have been remnants of my hymen? Thanks for any answers!

Thanks for the advice. I don't have pain or discomfort when i'm not having sex. So I don't think its an infection. We do use lubrication and that seems to help a little bit. I made a gyn appointment so hopefully I'll get a clearer answer. Thanks!

It very well could be. I would recommend taking a break from penetrative sex for a little while and go visit your gynecologist to make sure nothing is wrong. If there's persistent pain, even while not engaging is sexual activity, it could be an infection of some sort.

Another issue could be improper foreplay. I know that even after the first time, there was still discomfort for about two weeks during initial penetration. Make sure you're fully aroused before you give him to go ahead. Don't be afraid to use a water-based lube as well. Trust me, it helps.
