Sex-first time
I recently had sex for the first time. I experienced a little pain and discomfort which I am assuming is normal because I am not used to penetrative sex. Will this ease up and roughly how long will this take?
I also often felt tense as every 5 mins I felt like I needed to pee. I did not have a burning sensation or any pain related to this urge to pee. It just felt like his penis was poking into my bladder! Is this normal?
Thanks

Hi there,
First of all, yes it is absoloutely normal to experience some level of discomfort when first having sex. You may find this continues for a short time before disappearing. Occasionally it lessens but does not disappear altogether but this is only occasional and you don't need to worry unless you have been having intercourse regularly for approximately 6 months without the discomfort becoming less. Unfortunately, I couldn't give you a better time scale for it to lessen within, as it differs from person to person.
The need to urinate is also normal. If you are not experiencing any pain in relation to it and if you could feel the discomfort you describe during the intercourse, it sounds as though he may have just irritated your bladder. Again, there's no real need to worry and you should find symptoms alleviate naturally in around 48 hours. However, if you begin to experience pain and/or a burning sensation, or if the increase need to urinate does not lessen or disappear 48 hours from now, you should speak to your doctor, as this could indicate a Urinary Tract Infection.
Don't worry, it is all perfectly normal and unfortunately, the less glamorous side of having a sex life!! In time you will learn your own ways to deal with these problems but to help you out, you could make sure you urinate immediately after sex, to help ensure bacteria is removed from the body before infection has time to start. In addition to this, if you find that sex can irritate your bladder as you have described, try different positions. Many women find that different positions feel better than others so the trick is to work together to find out what feels most comfortable for the both of you.
I hope that helps!
