What is the reason for vaginal pain after cohabitation?

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: Vaginal pain after intercourse
Previous Treatment and Effect: You have not been treated before
What help do you want: How to treat it quickly and effectively

Doctor's answer:

Pain during intercourse can indicate two possible causes: first, insufficient foreplay, inadequate vaginal secretions, and lack of proper lubrication; second, an inflammatory disease in the vagina. It is recommended that you address the issue based on the specific cause. For the former, you can enhance sexual techniques and wait until you are sufficiently aroused and the vagina is well-lubricated before penetration. For the latter, you should visit a local hospital's gynecology department for examination to confirm the type of vaginitis before receiving targeted medication. It is advised to maintain good hygiene for the external genitalia, change underwear frequently, and avoid spicy foods and seafood! Further examination at a regular hospital's gynecology department, including a routine vaginal discharge test and gynecological ultrasound, is recommended to identify the cause before undergoing targeted treatment.
