Q: Penis Size Changes and Vaginal Health After First Sexual Experience

The penis enlarges during erection?

Hello, Dr.
Hsu:
1.
Recently, during my first sexual encounter with my new boyfriend, I noticed that his penis seemed a bit thicker and very firm, and he gets erect quite easily.
Are there any medications or surgical options that could make a penis so hard and thick?
2.
At the beginning of our sexual activity, I felt pain in my genital area, but I gradually got used to it.
Does this mean that my vaginal area may have become somewhat loose or stretched? What should I do to prevent vaginal laxity, and is it necessary to walk regularly?
3.
The day after, I experienced a slight stabbing pain in my lower abdomen, specifically where my legs cross in a Y-shape.
Could this indicate any concerning issues?

Lily: Hello, the size of the penis is like height; everyone is different.
Some are thick, some are long, and it really varies from person to person.
Of course, from a professional medical standpoint, as long as it functions normally, it is considered a good penis.
Certain medications can indeed affect penile erection and even size.
The vagina can relax appropriately due to the frequency of sexual intercourse, experience, and the size of the partner's penis, which is a normal response.
I believe this is different from vaginal laxity.
Pain after sexual intercourse can occur in less experienced girls; if the male partner has a particularly large penis and is using a condom, caution is advised, as there is a possibility of vaginal tearing, which would require examination by a gynecologist.
Urology Department Director Hsu Wei-Kai responds on behalf of the Taitung Hospital of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, caring for you.

Understanding changes in penis size and vaginal health after the first sexual experience can be a complex topic, often filled with questions and concerns. Let's break down the issues raised in your inquiry.

1. Penis Size and Hardness: It's important to recognize that penis size varies significantly among individuals, just like other physical attributes. The perception of your partner's penis being "thicker" or "harder" during your first sexual experience could be due to several factors, including arousal levels, the use of lubricants, or even the fit of condoms. While there are medications and surgical options that can affect erectile function and size, these are typically reserved for medical conditions rather than for enhancement. Medications like PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., Viagra, Cialis) can improve erectile function, but they do not increase size. Surgical options exist, but they come with risks and are not commonly recommended for purely cosmetic reasons.

2. Vaginal Adaptation and Relaxation: The discomfort you experienced during your first sexual encounter is not uncommon, especially for those who are inexperienced. The vagina is a highly elastic organ, capable of stretching to accommodate penetration. Over time, with repeated sexual activity, many women find that their bodies adapt, and discomfort diminishes. This does not necessarily mean that the vagina is becoming "looser" in a problematic way. Instead, it is a natural response to sexual activity. To maintain vaginal health and prevent any potential issues related to relaxation, it's beneficial to engage in pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegel exercises, which can strengthen the pelvic muscles. Regular physical activity, including walking, can also promote overall pelvic health.

3. Abdominal Discomfort: The sharp pain you described in your abdomen after sexual activity could be due to several factors. It might be related to muscle strain from the physical activity, tension during intercourse, or even the position used during sex. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be wise to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues, such as a urinary tract infection or other conditions that might require attention.

In summary, your experiences are quite common among individuals who are new to sexual activity. It's essential to communicate openly with your partner about comfort levels and to take things at a pace that feels right for both of you. If discomfort continues or if you have concerns about your sexual health, seeking advice from a healthcare professional is always a good step. They can provide personalized guidance and reassurance based on your specific situation. Remember, sexual health is an important aspect of overall well-being, and addressing any concerns early can lead to a more fulfilling sexual experience in the future.
