YOGYAKARTA Pain during penetration can be caused by several factors. The condition called vaginismus is generally experienced. As a reference, here are the reasons for difficulty penetrating during sex.

Shame when talking about sex makes couples who are about to get married do not know what to do. A survey reported by Singapore Brides, Thursday, May 8, as many as 60 percent of women in Singapore aged 16-24 years did not fully understand the anatomy of reproductive equipment. According to clinical sexologist at the National University Hospital, Professor P. Ganesa Adaikan, certain level of sexual knowledge about the anatomy of genitals, foreplay, and sexual intercourse position is important for successful intercourse.

So the recommendation is to take time to understand and get used to the body to prevent confusion about where the intimate organs are located. It is also important to understand the mechanism of the work. Experts also suggest exploring your own body to feel comfortable. For example by intimidating and getting the sensation of reaching orgasm.

If you have never had sex before, you may feel tense and nervous. Some have had sex, but they are stressed because they think about expectations, so they feel tense and don't enjoy the process. It should be understood, less relaxed can cause pain during penetration. It could also be that lubrication is lacking so that penetration becomes more difficult when having sex.

The recommendation is, try foreplay. Do as many sessions as possible so that lubricant is enough, more relaxed, and both feel comfortable reaching orgasm.

The vagina will release lubricants naturally when stimulated. There is currently also an increase in blood flow to the walls of the vagina. According to Adaikan, achieving sufficient enthusiasm during foreplay is needed in order to release lubricants that contribute to facilitating penetration and sexual intercourse without pain. In other words, feeling aroused and excited will make wet and make penetration sex more enjoyable. On the other hand, if you are not excited, vaginal dryness will make penetration sex uncomfortable and painful.

Vaginismus in women is an accidental condition of muscles tightening around a third of the outside of the vagina while trying to have sex. This will cause pain. Certified sexologist Martha Tara Lee said, one in ten women in the world have vaginismus. It seems that in Asia more women experience it, said Lee.

"Vagitism is a psychological fear of penetration that causes the vagina to strain, making penetration sex difficult or impossible. Both women who experience vaginismus and their partners can feel very depressed, helpless, frustrated, and incapable," Lee explained.

In addition, inaccurate sexual information and lack of understanding about the woman's body will worsen these conditions, which often lead to isolation and even separation.

Erectile dysfunction can be the cause of difficulty penetration during sex. This is a common problem that can be caused by various factors, such as chronic illness, treatment, fatigue, or drinking too much alcohol. Certain diseases such as nerve and brain disorders or diabetes can also cause erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunctions are also caused by emotional and psychogenic reasons such as anxiety.

If you are relaxed and comfortable with your body, and still have difficulty penetrating during sex, you may face physical problems. Sexually transmitted diseases, infections in genitals, or other medical reasons can cause pain during sexual intercourse.

Structural disorders can also cause pain during penetration. Some possible medical problems include septum vaginal, a rare condition where the vagina is split into two booths by the walls of the meat, which causes painful obstacles during penetration. Or endometrosis, where the uterine layer grows outside the uterus, not inside, which causes cramps and great pain when released. When experiencing it, consultation with medical professionals is important.
