Patient's question:
Vaginal dryness. Not moist. I don't know if it's very dry around the vaginal lips, because when I went for a check-up, the doctor said the vaginal opening wasn't dry. Previously during sexual activity, I had to use semen to lubricate first... It might be that my previous partner's had inflammation, which led to me always having gynecological inflammation. I don't know if it's pelvic inflammatory disease or adnexal inflammation. I haven't had any sexual activity for a year now. Lately, sometimes I haven't paid much attention to hygiene, like when I go to urinate and forget to bring tissues, it will flare up. It happens one or two times a month... Previously, when the pain was severe, I would go to the hospital for a few days of intravenous drips and take some medication for a few days. This went on for several months, but there wasn't much improvement. After that, the details of my life became even more...Doctor's answer:
Hello: The reasons for vaginal dryness cannot be explained in a few sentences. It involves a very wide range, including psychological, physiological factors, sexual life factors, or other factors, etc. Sometimes these factors are interwoven and interconnected.A normal vagina maintains a certain level of moisture. During the process of sexual arousal leading to climax, due to the accumulation of sexual excitement, the vagina produces secretions from few to more, making the vaginal lubrication reach a high degree. These lubricating fluids mainly come from the secretion of the cervix, the exudate formed by congestion of the vaginal walls, and the secretion of the Bartholin's glands located at the vaginal opening. During sexual activity, these fluids can only be secreted and gradually increase when sexual excitement reaches a certain level. If sexual excitement is insufficient, these lubricating fluids are secreted less or not at all, naturally leading to vaginal dryness. Some women may not have experienced vaginal dryness before, but it may appear after a special reason, which is often caused by psychological or physiological factors.
1. Psychological factors: Psychological reasons are often related to changes in the environment, mood, and emotional life. For example, work stress, financial difficulties, changes in marital relationships, tension in interpersonal relationships, etc. These various psychological pressures can lead to low sexual desire, delayed sexual arousal, and dull sexual response. Under obvious insufficient sexual excitement, the cervical glands and Bartholin's glands do not secrete, the vaginal walls do not become congested and thus do not produce exudate, so the vagina cannot be lubricated and becomes dry. Some infertile couples should follow medical advice to complete the "family assignment" style of sexual activity every time the woman is ovulating. At this time
