Patient's question:
I have never been pregnant. In the past year and a half, during sexual intercourse, the vaginal wall has been particularly painful. I feel like there is a small growth on the side. I have been to a regular large hospital for a check-up, but the doctor just looked at it and did a vaginal discharge test, saying it was vaginitis, and prescribed some medication, which had no effect. I would like to ask, is this what you call a cervical polyp? What check-up items should I do at the hospital to confirm the diagnosis? Also, for this kind of issue, is it better to go to a large general hospital or a specialized hospital? If it is confirmed to be a cervical polyp, what treatment methods are available?Additionally, I would like to know if it is cervical erosion and what tests are needed for this.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the reasons for reduced vaginal lubrication in women may be due to excessive work pressure or high mental stress; or psychological pressure from concerns about contraceptive failure and fear of pregnancy; or the use of certain medications that decrease libido, leading to reduced vaginal secretions. If the foreplay before intercourse is not sufficient, including inadequate kissing and manual stimulation of the breasts or other sensitive areas in women, it can also cause the female to remain unrelaxed. In cases of vaginal dryness, medication is also a good method, such as Qian Kun Tiao Jing Wan, which has a very effective effect on treating vaginal dryness and improving sexual arousal.
