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.

I recently had a full body check up, and some of the results indicate high TSH, high cholesterol, and a few other concerns. I would like to know which specialist I should consult to review my report and provide the best healthcare advice.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I am suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) and hypothyroidism, for which I am taking Thyronorm 50 mcg. I regularly go to the gym, follow a nutritious diet, and take whey protein (Livo Universal). Recently, I had a blood test, and the results showed TSH 5, globulin 3.8, RA factor active, low vitamin B12 and B9 levels, and high LDL. Please explain what these results mean.

Please read my report. Now I am currently 32 weeks pregnant. Upto the 2nd trimester thyroid reports were normal. I am using Tyronorm 50 mg. T4 is slightly above. Is there any problem? Please suggest.
