Patient's question:
Medical Description: I am 33 years old. Every time I have intimate contact with my husband, it feels extremely dry down there. Is it because of my age, or could it be a gynecological infection? I also have some secretions that are like paste. If it is an infection, how should it be treated?History of Treatment and Effect: Currently, I am taking oral Chinese medicine and using topical medication.
What Help I Need: Please help me analyze how to treat this.
Doctor's answer:
A woman's love juice is primarily secreted by the Bartholin's glands, and these glands can only secrete normally when they become congested under full sexual arousal. On one hand, your passion for sex may have decreased, and on the other hand, excessive intensity during foreplay might have caused damage to the vaginal mucosa, leading to infection and inflammation that affects the physiological function of the Bartholin's glands and disrupts their normal secretion. Female vaginal dryness is closely related to factors such as age, stress, and inflammation. Intimacy is a mutual experience for a couple, and when issues arise, both partners should focus on communication. Negative emotions can affect a woman's appearance, skin tone, and increase the risk of illness. In fact, aside from insufficient foreplay, physical "small mishaps" can also cause dryness in women. It is recommended to change locations and positions, engage in adequate foreplay. If the issue cannot be resolved, the only option is to use personal lubricant as a substitute or supplement to natural secretion.
