Patient's question:
Female, 50 years old, her menstrual periods have been decreasing in frequency recently. She suspects she might be entering menopause. Additionally, her emotions are very unstable, and she often has low-grade fever and sweating in the afternoon. Her friend mentioned this could be menopausal syndrome. She asks: Can menopausal symptoms be recovered from?Doctor's answer:
During sexual activity, if the vagina is dry, it is often due to abnormal hormone excretion, medication factors, or a lack of vitamin B2. Only when sexual arousal increases does the secretion of lubricating fluid gradually intensify. If sexual arousal is insufficient, lubricating fluid may be secreted in small amounts or not at all, leading to vaginal dryness again. If the foreplay time during regular sexual activity is shorter than ten minutes, the reason for vaginal dryness may be insufficient sexual arousal. Additionally, gynecological inflammation and endocrine disorders can also cause vaginal dryness. It is recommended to extend the foreplay time during sexual activity and explore various methods to excite oneself. Both partners should communicate frequently and work together to find effective ways to become aroused, identify body arousal points, and more.
