dry during intercourse
Lately I have been having a hard time stying wet during intercourse. I have never had this problem until a few moths ago. I am using Mirena for birth control and have had it for three years and wonderif that could be the problem
Could it possibly be the new type of birth control causing the problem of staying dry?

Hello,
For your dryness of vagina, there are a few possibilities. It may be due to lack of foreplay before intercourse, medical conditions such as vaginusmus and pelvic pain, vaginitis, anxiety regarding performance, low estrogen levels, inflammation and infections of vagina, menopause and drugs such as narcotics, tranquilizers, nicotine, alcohol and sedatives.
I feel that pelvic examination by a gynecologist along with cervical swabs and hormone studies are necessary.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

The same thing has just recently happened to me as well. I've never had the problem staying wet until about a month ago, and back in February I had gotten the Implanon birth control so I'm wandering if that could be my problem? My bf and I are getting tired of using the lube, he wants me to get wet on my own, but I just can't.
