I had a lot of pain during first intercourse; is this temporary or is something wrong?

Experiencing pain during first intercourse is common for many women and is usually temporary. Stretching of the vaginal entrance, lack of sufficient arousal, or involuntary muscle tightening (vaginismus) can cause this pain.
If the pain:
- Decreases and disappears after a few attempts, it's likely an adjustment period.
- Happens every time, feels like deep pain, or affects your daily life, see a gynecologist. Vaginismus, infection, or endometriosis might be involved—all are treatable.
In short: initial pain is normal, but if it persists or keeps happening, definitely see a specialist.
