Sorry for the TMI but I occasionally get pain during deep penetration, only certain positions and only some of the time. I never get pain during positions in which aren’t particularly deep. The pain is usually a sharp ache/cramping sensation and can occasionally last for a couple of hours afterwards.
What could be causing this?

Hi not sure to be honest, I get pain with deep penetration when I’m due on my period or not aroused enough. I also get a dull ache deep in vaginal area when I’m due on but this is a new thing.
🤔What causes female pain during sex (dyspareunia)?
In many cases, a woman can experience pain during sex if there is not sufficient vaginal lubrication. In these cases, the pain can be resolved if the female becomes more relaxed, if the amount of foreplay is increased, or if the couple uses a sexual lubricant. In some cases, a woman can experience painful intercourse if one of the following conditions is present:
Vaginismus: This is a common condition in which there is a spasm in the vaginal muscles, mainly caused by the fear of being hurt or prior trauma.
Vaginal infections: These conditions are common and include yeast infections.
Problems with the cervix (opening to the uterus): The penis can reach the cervix at maximum penetration. Therefore, problems with the cervix (such as infections) can cause pain during deep penetration.
Problems with the uterus: These may include fibroids that can cause deep intercourse pain.
Endometriosis: A condition in which the endometrium (tissue lining the uterus) grows outside the uterus.
Problems with the ovaries: Such problems might include ovarian cysts.
Pelvic inflammatory disease: The tissues deep inside become badly inflamed, and the pressure of intercourse causes deep pain.
Ectopic pregnancy: A pregnancy in which a fertilized egg develops outside of the uterus.
Vaginal atrophy secondary to Menopause: The vaginal lining can lose its normal moisture and thickness and become dry, thin and inflamed.
Intercourse too soon after surgery or childbirth
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): These may include genital warts, herpes sores, or other STIs.
Injury to the vulva or vagina: These injuries may include a tear from childbirth or from a cut (episiotomy) in the perineum (area of skin between the vagina and the anus) that is made during labor.
