I'm 23 and just starting to get into intercourse. The first time really hurt, and I actually had to ask my boyfriend to stop because the pain was unbearable, although I didn't bleed. When we tried again, entering was easier, but it still stung quite a bit. I've heard it takes time for it to stop hurting and start feeling good, but I'm wondering if I should get checked now that I'm becoming sexually active. How long is it normal to experience this pain before it turns pleasurable? We've been using condoms as I'm aware of the side effects of the pill, and thankfully, my periods haven't been affected yet. Is there anything we can do to lessen the pain, or any tips for this situation?

Considering your painful experiences during intercourse, it's a good idea to consult a gynecologist to rule out any underlying conditions like vaginismus, vaginal dryness, or anatomical issues; in the meantime, you can try relaxation techniques, lubricants, and gradual, gentle penetration to reduce discomfort, and continue using condoms for contraception,

View allI'm really worried because I'm getting married in November, and my fianc doesn't know I'm not a virgin. I had sex when I was 18, and now I'm 21. I've done a lot of fingering too. When I first had sex, it didn't hurt, and there wasn't any blood. I've heard about alum for tightening, and I want to know if it could help. Can you give me any advice on becoming a virgin again or making it seem like I am?
Unfortunately, once you have had sex and lost your virginity, there is no way to get your virginity back

We recently visited the doctor because my wife is pregnant. Two months ago, she had a miscarriage, and the doctor recommended Duphaston. I'm wondering if it's okay for her to take Jigest 10mg as a substitute for Duphaston 10mg. Is it safe for us to make this switch? Would love your advice on this.
Jigest 10mg Tablet and Duphaston 10mg Tablet are not exactly the same, although they are used for similar purposes. _Key Differences_ 1. _Active Ingredient_: Duphaston contains Dydrogesterone, while Jigest contains Micronized Progesterone. 2. _Hormonal Action_: Both medications are progestins, but they have slightly different hormonal actions and effects on the body. _Substitution Safety_ While Jigest can be used as a substitute for Duphaston in some cases, it's essential to consult your doctor before making any changes to your wife's medication regimen.
