The perineal pain could be referred pain from the corona, if present. The only reason I would hazard that guess is because most of the people I have known with vulvodynia had it on first penetration, not after a while of sex being fine. But. My pool is not a statistically significant sample, so this might well be a common variant of vulvodynia!

Hope that she can see a GYN soon, and that the doc will be helpful. Pain sucks.

As someone with an unfortunate case of vulvodynia coupled with vaginismus, I don't always get pain when I have sex. It varies when I do get pain; sometimes only to begin with until I get warmed up, sometimes it's fine on initial penetration and sometimes only once I get going. That could possibly be because if I get bored, distracted or worried about it hurting. I'll dry up almost the instant I start feeling pain, and the friction with a condom on definitely leaves me with bleeding, tearing, and a burning sensation, more so if the guy has comfort issues from a tight foreskin and it takes a few goes to penetrate comfortably for him.

I highly recommend her seeing a gyno; mine referred me to a pelvic floor physio and I don't have pain as often now, and when I do get it, I know how to deal with it. For me, it involves some gentle finger stretching, plenty of lube, and as a last resort ditching the condom (I have an IUD and insist on my partners getting STI tests prior to any hats-off action.)
