Patient's question:
Pain during intercourse, occurring a little away from entering the vagina. Onset time and cause: Over a year, the cause is not very clear. Treatment status: Visited the hospital, took medicine, but there was no improvement. The doctor only said there was a bit of inflammation. Desired help: Want to know what the problem is and how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
The causes of female sexual pain can be categorized into psychological and organic factors. Psychological factors may result from a lack of sexual knowledge, mental tension during intercourse, or insufficient lubrication. Organic factors are generally caused by infections or inflammation in the reproductive system, such as vaginitis, cervicitis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for relevant examinations to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment. Generally, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be used for syndrome differentiation and treatment. The principle is to warm the meridians, dispel cold, activate blood circulation, resolve blood stasis, soften and dissolve hard masses, and reduce swelling and pain. In summary, through the use of Chinese herbal medicine, the ectopic masses should gradually liquefy, shrink, and be absorbed. Clinical symptoms will alleviate as the ectopic masses shrink or disappear completely.
