Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: If I cannot fully enter during sex with my husband, I always feel like I'm hitting something. And if I force it in, it will cause pain all over my lower abdomen. Moreover, the first time it didn't bleed, and my husband's penis is normal, even slightly shorter than usual. Why is that? I suspect I might have a problem—whether it's an ovarian cyst or a tumor, because sometimes my left abdomen hurts, and it has been going on for about a year and a half. I'm afraid, so I haven't gone to see a doctor.Other: Please ask the expert for an answer. Thank you!
First follow-up question: Have any of the netizens had this?
Doctor's answer:
What is touched is the cervix. If there is pain, it is mostly considered to be caused by cervical lesions, usually due to erosion. It is best to go to the hospital for a colposcopy or gynecological examination to identify it, and then treat it accordingly. The causes of dyspareunia include: 1. Psychological factors: fear, tension, etc.; 2. Vaginal lubrication dysfunction: atrophic vaginitis, diabetes, use of antihistamines, etc., which reduce vaginal secretion; 3. Endometriosis, vulvitis, vaginitis, cervicitis, vaginal swelling, adhesions, vaginal spasm, urethral papillae, pelvic tissue lesions, etc.
