You should not assume that the pain is associated with an existing illness. Most likely, they indicate the presence of other, not yet identified, diseases or a banal lack of natural lubrication.
Pain in the lower abdomen can actually be caused by the partner’s penis being too large. But this is an extremely rare case, occurring in only 1%. In fact, the vaginal muscles are very elastic and can stretch greatly when aroused. If this were not the case, the process of natural childbirth would be extremely traumatic.

How to get rid of pain during sex
First of all, be sure to undergo a medical examination and pass all the necessary tests. It is necessary to rule out a truly serious problem hidden behind that pain.
If doctors have confirmed that you are absolutely healthy, then most likely the reason is an insufficient emotional connection with your partner. After all, sex is emotions. Due to strong attraction, the required amount of lubricant will be released. If the partner is also experienced and attentive, orgasm is guaranteed. If slight moral constraint bothers you, take relaxation measures. Have a glass of red wine, give each other a massage.
But in the case when the pain has a psychological reason associated with unsuccessful past experience- consult a psychologist. You need to get rid of the fear of repeating that situation. The partner must be attentive and understanding. Only his support can speed up the healing process.
