Question
Hello doctor,
I have a painful vaginal burning condition, causing a lot of difficulties during gynecological examination and during sex (not really having successful sex with my husband because it's too painful). I used to go to Vinmec to check if there was anything abnormal, but the doctor said there was no problem, I was just scared because of psychology. The doctor asked me how to reduce the fear of pain during sex? Should I take pain relievers or sedatives to calm me down? I would like to thank the doctor.

Hello,
With the question "How to reduce the fear of pain during sex?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The doctor is very sympathetic to your concerns, very glad that you have was examined by a specialist and found that your genitals are normal. In fact, many of you are in the same situation as you, the treatment takes time and uses a combination of measures. The main measures you need are the use of supportive lubricants (you should use water-gel lubricants), psychological preparation for both couples before sex, time as well as relaxation therapies. body fluids, pain relievers and sedatives are not recommended. If the above measures do not work, you should revisit with your obstetrician-gynecologist to consider switching to vaginal dilation (with specialized instruments) or other specialized measures.
If you still have questions about how to reduce the fear of pain during sex, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
