5 Questions WOMEN don't ask their doctors - Staff Reporter, Cybernoon.com

May 16th, 2005 - Women everywhere dread going to the OBGYN. It's not just the cold metal stirrups. Sometimes invasive medical procedures can make us anxious to get out of the office ASAP. Meanwhile, some of the questions we were dying to ask the doctor are forgotten. If you have ever worried about your low sex drive or wondered what you can do for mild PMS, now is the time to get your questions answered.

I do not enjoy sex very much because I often experience discomfort. Is there anything a doctor can do for this?
Physical and emotional factors alike can contribute to painful intercourse, or dyspareunia. Certainly, there are gynecological conditions that manifest as sexual discomfort, and most of them can be resolved with a physician's guidance. It's important to be evaluated.

Common conditions represented by superficial pain include yeast infections, dryness and vulvodynia (pain in the vulva). If your pain is physically deeper, it could signal anything from ovarian cysts to endometriosis to a pelvic inflammatory disease. But do not get spooked by the possibilities. Talk to a physician about your symptoms.
