Diagnosis depend: On whether pain occur on entry or deep thrusting. Conditions like insufficient lubrication, infections, injury, vaginismus, endometriosis, pelvic surgeries like hysterectomy, emotional problems. A history and physical with a pelvic examination indicated asap if not done already. Lidocaine jelly before diagnosis not indicated.

Painful intercourse: It may help if there is irritation or vaginal mucosa inflammation. It will make his sensation less and will delay his ejaculation. It may have causes that you need to treat because they may be serious., such as endometritis, endometriosis, tumors, scarring after surgery, acute infections, low level estrogen, and the list goes on and on. Treat the cause not the symptom, your gynecologist will know.
