Patient's question:
I haven't had sex with my boyfriend for about 10 days. After having sex today, I suddenly felt pain in my lower abdomen. I've had this happen before too. I don't know what it could be. What should I do? Also, there's a strange odor in my lower abdomen. I'm usually very careful about hygiene, so what could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
The causes of sexual intercourse pain include:1. Psychological factors: fear, tension, etc.;
2. Vaginal lubrication dysfunction: atrophic vaginitis, diabetes, use of antihistamines, etc., leading to reduced vaginal secretion;
3. Endometriosis, vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, vaginal swelling, adhesions, vaginismus, urethral polyps, pelvic tissue lesions, etc.
It is recommended to seek medical examination. If it is pathological, active symptomatic treatment is required.
