Ths.BS Pham Minh Ngoc – Deputy Director of Center for Sex Medicine (Hanoi Hospital of Andrology and Infertility) said that sex is very important in everyone’s life.
However, there are also many stories and sexual problems that many couples may encounter.
For example, following a period of time together, many people experience a decrease, loss of libido, some do not feel pleasure, others have pain during sex.
Minh Hanh is 27 years old, lives in Hanoi, has been married for more than 1 year and has not given birth. At the most energetic age, Hanh always had a need for “sex”. But there was an incident with this young wife: Although her desire was high and her husband also knew how to pamper his wife, she was hurt every time she had a deep relationship.
Hanh said that when she went to the obstetrician-gynecologist, the results were not abnormal. Before each “love”, the couple always prepare carefully for the foreplay, “electricity and water are very adequate” but the battle is painful.
Doctor Ngoc said, like Hanh and her husband, many couples have been married for many years and have given birth, but each time sex is still painful like the first time doing “sex”, so much so that they have to find a doctor for advice and treatment. examination.
Doctor Ngoc consults a female patient with sexual problems.
According to Dr. Ngoc, any case of pain when being close should go to the doctor, because there are many causes of this condition, it can be psychological or it can also be a symptom of an underlying disease in the area. gynecological.
“Ever since people have studied sex from a scientific point of view, pain during sex has been an important issue. Pain is divided into pain of specific causes and pain of non-specific causes.
For example, women at menopause age, mucus decreases, causing pain during sex; or women in their youth, the mucus, “water of the cradle” is full but still painful during sex, and when examined, it is found that the “girl” has flat lichen (a type of dermatological disease), all those painful cases All of them have specific causes,” said Dr. Ngoc.
On the contrary, as in the case of the young wife above, there was no damage to the genitals, but every time the “boy” penetrated deep inside, he had muscle spasms and pain that might not continue. Doctor Ngoc believes that this type of pain is due to psychological causes.
“People with this type of pain, the more they try to have sex, the worse it gets. There are even couples who come to the doctor because 5 years of marriage still can’t solve the pain during sex, “doctor Ngoc said.
There are many causes of pain during sex, and the problem must be handled on a case-by-case basis. (Illustration)
As such, it is possible to see many causes of pain in sex and all ages are at risk for this problem.
It is important to find the specific cause and classify the pain so that the treatment is effective.
Accordingly, with cases of pain due to gynecological diseases, it is necessary to be thoroughly examined and tested to know the exact cause, thereby thoroughly treating the cause of the disease. For example, in the case of a tumor inside, the tumor must be treated to solve the problem.
Or the case of endocrine failure leading to insufficient secretion of mucus requires enough stimulation before sex. Even hormonal supplements, using lubricants are allowed to use. As for psychological pain that requires sexual desensitization, doctors will give careful advice and psychological treatment to help patients get used to it. However, the treatment will take quite a long time, going through each stage, not overnight.
