Patient's question:
I had an abortion a year ago and went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. The ultrasound said there were no problems with my uterus, but every time I have sex with my husband, I always get stomach pain. I always get nervous during sex because I'm afraid of the pain. Before, I didn't have this issue. Sometimes, I also feel stomach pain. The hospital checked and found vaginitis, but didn't check for anything else. I read online that stomach pain during sex could be due to cervical erosion. Is this condition serious? I was previously diagnosed with trichomoniasis vaginitis and took medication, but I don't feel like it's fully healed because I still have itching.Doctor's answer:
This is indeed something to consider as it may be caused by cervical erosion. It's best to have a transvaginal ultrasound for a thorough examination. Additionally, sometimes excessive tension can also lead to muscle tightness, causing discomfort. It's important to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy foods that can cause stomach upset. Furthermore, during sexual activity, it's important to be gentle and proceed slowly. If there is no inflammation, it may be more psychological. Vaginitis patients can understand and treat the symptoms while using home remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it's necessary to have a proper diet and avoid stimulating foods.
