Every woman likes to remember this special moment. Though in most of the cases, there are no problems experienced but few women do feel pain and slight bleeding occurs due to the breaking of the hymen (the thin cover in the vagina).

One of the common sexual problems in men is the erection problem where the penis fails to get erected during the sexual activity. There are various reasons associated with it. In some of the men, this problem could be treated with the help of medicine but if the causes are psychological like past incident of sex-abuse, feeling of guilt, lack of attraction from the partner then these need to be treated with the help of counseling and psychological treatment. In women especially during the pre-menopause or menopause period, vaginal dryness is very common. The main reason behind it is the change in the hormonal balance of the body. As there is no lubrication, the women feel pain during intercourse and slowly lack interest in it.  Hormonal therapy and certain foods like soy, flax seeds are good for treating vaginal dryness.
