See if you can tell where it hurts during sex.

If it is the skin on the outside of your vagina, down by your bottom, chances are that your vaginal opening is smaller than normal. A doctor can help you fix that.

If it hurts inside your vagina during sex, what kind of hurt is it? A burning feeling can mean that you have little cuts or tears inside or that something is irritating your vaginal walls. This could be caused by lubricants, soaps, or lotions on your partner's skin, or if he is just simply too big to fit inside you, or you may be allergic to his semen.

If it's a dull pain or an ache way up inside, it could be that he is hitting your cervix.

My advise to everyone, is to use plenty of water-based lubricant, pay attention to your body, and if it is truly bothersome, go see the doctor.

My daughter went through painful intercourse for years. She visited many doctors and even ended up having a total historectomy at the age of 30. She started having the problem after she had her daughter, which is her only child. Recently, through having a MRI, they finally found the problem. Her pelvic bones did not go back in place after birthing her daughter. Now she has exercises that she does that helps her. I was never aware the pelvic bones moved when the baby is born. It took many years and several surgerys before the problem was found. I don't know if that is a 1 out of a100 situation, but I am 59 and had never heard of that before.

Yes, your pelvic bones do move during pregnancy, but it is pretty rare to have that cause any problems after the birth of your child. There are ligaments between the bones that do the stretching. Did she tear the ligaments? That could be quite painful, not just during sex, but walking, and any shift of the pelvis. If you have any more details, or if you can get your daughter to post a comment, I am very interested in this.

Yes, just having the weight of the baby pressing down on your pelvis causes the bones to seperate in preparation for birth. If you had a C-Section, your bones wouldn't necessarily go through the trauma of the birthing process, but they have still moved.

when I have sex with my boyfriend it hurts around the outside. this hasn't always been an issue and i'm not sure what to do to make it stop. it feels like it is too dry even if it is not or like it is really tender. were not sure why since it didnt use to happen and now it does. any suggestions?

Everytime i have intercourse with the hubby something around the middle pelvic area is killing me. It feels like he is hitting something. I went to the doctor and everything was normal

In reference to pain on the outside, and the skin feeling tender, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use a lubricant.  Ever slide down a slide after it rains??? Do you really want to do that to your vagina? I think not!!! Be nice to your girlie bits, and the pleasure will be all yours!

Tweet, I bet he's hitting your cervix, the top of your vagina. This can happen for two reasons, he is too long to fit completly inside you, or you are not sufficiently aroused at the time of intercourse. When a woman is truly ready for sex, her cervix lifts to enlongate the vaginal canal in order to accommodate a partner. If you aren't all warm and steamy, so to speak, it can be like trying to jam a sausage link into a thimble - it might go in, but not very far.

hello. i had a baby in november 2010. i was in horrible labor for 19 hours, had an epidural, no other pain meds during labor or after birth, was pushing baby out for 3 hours and she was 8 lbs. 1 oz. 21 1/2" long. i had an episiotomy and hemorroids. i still have water weight gain and not sure how to get rid of it. i also have not been able to produce much breastmilk for my baby due to a low prolactin level of about 40. and i am having tight, pulling, stretching pains in my hips, knees and feet since january. i felt better when i was 9 months pregnant. all bloodwork is ok and so are xrays. physical therapy has not helped. it hurts when i make transition movements...as i bend to sit down, or straighten to get up from a sitting position or try to squat down to pick something up off the floor i have to pull on the countertop to help myself get up. cant do the elliptical machine for more than 3 or 4 minutes. do you have any idea about what any of my problems could be from? or how to fix them? thank you. christine.
