I am experiencing pain during sexual intercourse. I have been tested for infections and had blood tests, but everything came back normal. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?

Pain during sex may be due to vaginal dryness, stress, or tight pelvic muscles. Rule out hormonal causes like low estrogen or thyroid imbalance. Use water based lubricants during intercourse. See a gynecologist for a Pelvic Ultrasound and physical exam. If needed, consult a pelvic floor therapist.

My name is Nandini. I have been suffering from thyroid issues for 5 years and am currently taking Thyronorm 125 mcg. Recently, I was diagnosed with PCOS. I am experiencing heavy hair fall and have been trying to conceive for the past 3 years without success. My periods are very irregular, sometimes once every 3 months, with very heavy bleeding, clots, and severe pain lasting almost a month, which only stops when I take Meprate for a month. Please suggest what I should do now, as I want to conceive.

My TSH level has increased to 19.02. I was previously taking 25 mcg of thyroid medication. How much dose should I take now? Please suggest. I have attached my thyroid test report.

I had thyroid problems, so I underwent surgery. My question is, do I still have to continue my thyroid tablets or not? Thank you.
