Dear Patient,
Thank you for sharing your concern. Difficulty with penile penetration despite being comfortable with fingering or other forms of intimacy can occur for several reasons. These may include involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor muscles, vaginismus, anxiety, insufficient lubrication, or anatomical factors. It does not necessarily mean that your vagina is abnormally shallow.
Please do not force penetration or continue if you experience pain. Allow yourself time to relax, ensure adequate arousal and lubrication, and communicate openly with your partner. Avoid pressuring yourself to achieve penetration.
I recommend consulting a qualified gynaecologist for an examination to assess the cause. If pelvic floor muscle tension or vaginismus is suspected, appropriate treatment, including pelvic floor physiotherapy or guided therapy, may help.
With the right assessment and support, many causes of penetration difficulties can be managed successfully. Please remember that this is a common concern, and there is no need to feel embarrassed about seeking help.
Regards,
Dr. Fayyaz Sexology Clinic
