Patient's question:
Because I wanted to have sex with my husband on the second day after my period, during the process, I experienced some pain in my vagina, which subsided later. Over the past two days, I've had some discomfort and pain in my vagina, with slightly increased amount of leukorrhea that is transparent and shows no abnormalities. I also have some lower back pain. It's the 10th day after my period, and I have mild cervical erosion. Are these symptoms normal? Is it possible that I have a vaginal infection?Can I get pregnant? Can I get pregnant?
First follow-up question: I also occasionally have dysuria. Can these symptoms heal on their own without treatment?
Doctor's answer:
There are many causes of sexual intercourse pain, including various diseases of the reproductive and urinary systems, congenital deformities, and more. In the absence of organic lesions, sexual intercourse pain is primarily caused by insufficient vaginal lubrication. The reasons for inadequate sexual arousal mainly include two aspects: first, insufficient preparation for intercourse, such as inadequate foreplay actions like hugging, kissing, and caressing; second, sexual anxiety, fear, lack of focus, and depression or unhappiness brought by work or life. Sexual intercourse pain is usually accompanied by clear gynecological diseases, so a detailed gynecological examination is necessary, including speculum examination, vaginal examination, and, if necessary, a three-point examination. Only after excluding gynecological and systemic organic-related diseases can a definitive diagnosis be made and treatment proceed.
