What Causes Excessive Wetness In Vagina During Sex?
Question: My vagina has excessive wetness during sex. Im 53 and this problem has just started. What can b done?
Brief Answer:
If this is only during sex, I will suggest we monitor for the following.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this excessive vaginal wetness that you have reported. This is generally normal during sex as it is required for lubrication in order to have an enjoyable sexual encounter. Because it only happens during sex, it is unlikely to be suggestive of an infection. Beside this, have you had any abnormal vaginal discharges before(color, odor or volume) outside intercourse? If you do, then this might be suggestive of an infection. If you don't, my initial approach would be to monitor and see if this persists. If it does, then I will want you to go for vaginal exam and laboratory analysis of a specimen collected from the vaginal. This would offer more information as to whether you might be having an infection.
In all, if this is limited to sexual encounter, I suggest monitoring as it is not suggestive of an infection right away. However, if it persists. we shall move on to do testing.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Thank u. I dont have an odor or discharge. Should i try an antihistamine before sex?
Brief Answer:
For now, let's monitor first!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I will really like to know if this is to last or just a transient occurrence. For this, let's be patient and monitor before taking further measures. This would ensure that we know exactly what is going on before intervening.
I am not being aggressive at this time because there is no immediate threat to live and we do not run the risk of severe damage or complications if we do not act immediately.
I wish you well.
