Sex can be a bit complicated… especially for women. In order for a woman to fully engage, her body needs to be prepared. Through arousal, her body will self-lubricate in preparation for the act. But what happens when the body’s natural lubrication process stops working?
Laura discovered a brand new over-the-counter lubricant that she wanted to try with her husband. As newlyweds, Laura and her husband were very active and eager to try “new things” that touted bringing more pleasure into the bedroom. After a few uses of this heavily branded product, the pleasurable encounters that Laura had enjoyed with her husband were now extraordinarily painful. In her words, it felt like her husband “was covered with shards of glass.”
As you can imagine, this was a very painful and traumatic experience. With only a few months of marriage under her belt, Laura became very fearful that she would never be able to fully enjoy intimacy with her husband again.
Eventually, after some help from her doctor, Laura was able to restore the natural pH of her body and reintroduce good bacteria to assist in her body’s healing process. However, after four months of dealing with this very painful experience, Laura found it very difficult to self-lubricate, even after the pain was gone.
Laura’s story represents the biological conflict of “not producing sufficient vaginal mucus,” as defined by Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer. This conflict arises when there is not enough stimulation for a woman to lubricate herself, or from a traumatic, painful sexual experience. When this conflict occurs, the cells in the Bartholin’s glands, which secrete lubrication in the vaginal opening, proliferate to the degree and intensity of the traumatic experience. The purpose of this rapid cell production is to increase the production of vaginal mucus.
During the healing phase of this conflict, the extra cells that had been produced during the conflict are now removed by fungi or mycobacteria. If the healing process is intense, the body may form a fluid-filled abscess or cyst, which will eventually drain when stress is introduced to the body. Simultaneously, if water retention is present, the abscess may obstruct fluid from exiting the Bartholin’s gland, resulting in vaginal dryness. If the woman has, what her body perceives to be, too many conflict relapses, her vaginal dryness can become a permanent condition.
Luckily, for Laura, her body did begin to produce the mucus she needed to be intimate with her husband. After being treated medically, and emotionally, she was able to overcome her fear of re-experiencing the pain. When she needs some assistance with self-lubrication, she now chooses olive oil which will not result in stripping her body of its natural bacteria or increasing its acidity level.
Painful experiences can lead to disruptions in our bodies. This is the body’s natural defense system from preventing future pain from occurring. How you view your health condition makes a difference. If you think that your body’s natural healing mechanism is pathological process, that may lead you down the path of treating yourself with potentially harmful prescription or over-the-counter “cures.” Realize that there is innate wisdom in the body that is there for your protection and working on your behalf for your good. Allow this to guide you towards an approach that embraces a more holistic perspective that doesn’t work against your body’s processes, but with it.
