I am writing on behalf of my girlfriend. My girlfriend and I (21F) are in a relationship for about 1yr 4m. Both of us didnt have any prior experience. when we started having sex, after doing it a few times, we realized that she has Vaginismus . She tightens her pelvic floor muscles while insertion which results in a small tear (around 1-1.5 cm ) at the 6 o'clock position of the vaginal opening everytime. Along with that there is pain during insertion , burning sensation during the act and feeling of lack of lubrication ( we do use a lot of lube, tried water based as well as silicone-based lubes ) and a pulling sensation . The pain is just during insertion and once inserted it becomes better. everything is fine for 10 15 mins but after that other issues mentioned starts to appear.

We consulted a lot of gynecologists (5-6) and most of them didnt tell us anything productive and were telling us that there is a need for a surgery because the vaginal opening is too small (without examination), others didnt address and explain why the tear happens but focused on some other thing, gave unnecessary meds and tests. She has done complete course of vaginal capsules 3-4 times . one did the 2 finger test and it was fine. finally one gynecologist was able to understand the issue properly and asked her to try and relax during insertion. that helped a lot and did make a difference, the insertion became more easier and less painful than before... but the tear continued to happen . We have sex once or twice a month but the gynecologist asked to do it once or twice a week. i dont feel like we should keep doing this without finding a solution. i feel like the wound will get worse with evereytime and i dont wanna hurt her or keep her in discomfort. Around 4-5 times we didnt do it for 1-2 months because of
