Patient's question:
Please ask the expert:Why do I and my husband often feel lower abdominal pain after sexual intercourse, and it improves after a while? Only during the middle days of my menstrual period, when it seems like there is discharge, does the pain not feel as severe. I know it's probably due to vaginal dryness. Why is this happening? I haven't used any lubricant, but perhaps using one would help. However, if there's a medication that can regulate this, that would be great. Thank you, expert, for helping me???
