Let me start this by saying I've never had any unfortunate vaginal health problems. I've never had a UTI or a yeast infection, so if this seems like a really obvious thing, I'm sorry. I just don't know.

For the past few days my vagina has been itchy. Not a burning sensation either, but just itchy... almost like when your hair starts to grow back in after a wax and there is that light but constant enough to be annoying itch. But inside my vagina where I'm certain I've never waxed.

So I'm not really sure what that is about. Then today, i started to... drip. The discharge hasn't changed - there is no unusual smell and the consistency hasn't changed at all - but when I stood up today I noticed that my normal amount of vaginal mucus had increased so much that it started running down my leg! Like, huge. And the amount has not gone down since.

I also noticed that when I would make bathroom stops to "mop" up my issue, the toilet paper appeared slightly pink at times... as if there was some blood. But I'm not sure. My period stopped a few days ago, so I don't think that could be it.

Any ideas? I looked with a flashlight and a mirror ad nothing looked out of the ordinary, but something must be off.

This is like the post below me. I specifically joined this community to ask this question. I haven't caught the vibe of this place yet since it's my first time here. To be safe, I'm going to ask not to be lectured because I am working on my sexual health now. I know my past has been irresponsible. Thank you for any advice you can provide. :)

One year ago I had unprotected vaginal sex with someone male-bodied (whom I met off of Craigslist). He insisted he was STI-free. I believed him.

Shortly after my first time with him, when I was in school, I noticed that I was leaking. I would stand and I felt like I peed myself, just a little. I also had a strong odor. It's clear. Nothing unusual but the odor...just plenty of it. But it went away on it's own. However, I remember smelling super sweet and dare I say...pure before I had sex with him. Now...if I don't shower for a few days and get into the shower...it's a scent close to fish.

Now when I have sex, usually with someone female-bodied, it returns. It doesn't smell any different than what I'm now used to since last year. I like the way I smell now. I woke up a few nights ago, thinking I literally did, finally, actually pee myself. I was just so wet and the discharge almost seemed like water. Same strong smell.

Does anyone know what's going on with me?

1.) Why did my scent change?
2.) Why am I so wet all the time? What is this?

Thanks for your help!!!
I hope to be able to contribute back when I can!

EDIT: Tea tree oil...I like it and apparently it's helpful! What do you think?

so i was watching that show on mtv sex with mom and dad and they had this one girl on who had slept with around 20-25 people. apparently most of the times she had sex with someone it was unprotected and she wasn't very educated about risks of STDs and things of that nature. so they were talking, and the doctor told her something along the lines of 'i'm sure you have genital warts'. she didn't really agree or disagree. .but i was like :/ she more than likely does have a strain[s] of hpv, but does that neccissarily mean she has warts ? then i started to wonder what are my chances of having HPV and/or warts. .i've had PIV sex with [technically] 10 partners. with six of them i've had unprotected sex. i'm definitely considering getting the HPV vaccine. .and i know no one who isn't a doctor could really assess me about it, but i was just curious about what my, i guess you could say, statistical chances of having hpv and/or warts are. .

Fluffy Piss

I just went for a Chlamydia screening.  I'm not in the habit of peeing into cups, so when I noticed there were bits in my urine, it was something new.  Should urine be completely clear?  There were a few fluffy, whitish bits (I'm assuming white, anyway, the urine was yellow).  Anything I need to be worried about/get checked out?  I regularly have quite a bit of discharge and had been to the toilet about an hour and a half before, so I don't know if it could've been bits of toilet roll (which kind of weirds me out, but whatev), I don't know if that makes a difference.

Ovary pain

Hi me again

So last night the fiance and I had sex, did the whole post sex pee, then we were in the shower.
I get out of the shower dry off and BANG my ovary feels like it is trying to explode. or something.
Left side only.
I manage to get myself into the bed room and on the bed before the crying starts.

**back story, I have ovarian cysts, this pain was 10 times worse then any I've EVER had before from my ovaries.

the fiance walks in, sees me on the bed and automatically knows somethings wrong, I give my body over to pain, by now I'm shaking and crying, and the pain is so bad.
It doesn't exactly pass, I just get use to the pain, 1-2 hours later there is a 'fullness' or pressure coming from the left ovary, it hurts like hell.

I worked this morning, at one stage dropped to the ground because BANG pain started being bad again. Tears start and I'm grabbing at my left side, I could almost swear I was about to pass out.

My parents are nurses and dad always asks me to describe my pain on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst. Now I've have broken bones, and a whole lot of other things, this pain was easily a 9.

The only thing worse then it was when I was in a car accident.
So I know it was a horrible pain.

I don't know what to do, I'm going to ring the doctor on monday and get in ASAP.
Any one have any ideas what it could be? and should I be going to the hospital if it gets bad again?

*I'm in australia if that makes a difference, and I'm on Logynon ED as my pill, and have been feeling a little weird the last 2-3 weeks.

Thanks.

Hello all!! I hope all is well with all of you. So this morning around 6 am, my boyfriend and I start to have sex. I stop him in the middle of it, cause it's just hurting me. I believe I wasn't wet enough. Then this morning around 10, we try again, and this time it still hurts a bit, but not too bad, and I'm able to get through it and we both finish up.

Now, every time I pee, I have a burning sensation. I'm no stranger to UTIs, I get them quite often, but I never have the burning, it's just the frequent urination, so this is all a bit new to me. Can a UTI set in that fast after sex, where I start to burn right away? It's really bumming me out. He wasn't wearing a condom, if that helps at all. Thank you everyone!

Skin tags.

Does anyone here have a skin tag on their labia majora? What does it look like? When did it sprout up?

I tried my Google-fu skills, but couldn't find much information on what they look like or anything about them, really. I think I may have one that just started showing up a few months ago and is now very obvious in its presence.

Any info is appreciated.

for the last two days i have been having terrible pain in my breasts like p.m.s pain
i wouldnt mind but seriously i was nearly crying putting on my bar this morning
anyway i have been on my pill for 7-8 months now but could recent side effects be an indication that its not as effective??? have had mood swings before too)

also i just want to rant at the irish health system!
I recently went to my doc about STI worrys and that was all fine and dandy (except he only took a swab and never sent the swab off shit head><)
anyway so i recently went to an STI clinic just to get properly tested
where i was informed by the lovely nurse there that doctors never do a full screening.
I mean maybe this is common practice but never was i told this by the docotor or never in my sex ED and we had alot of it in school that this was the case.
Honestly i really dont feel this is good enough what are your opinions?

I've had extremely painful periods for a very long time, but I had pretty much learned to deal with it. However, towards the beginning of this year, it started to get worse, and I started having pain and spotting at other times of the month as well.

In March, I went to the gynecologist, who put me on Ortho Cyclen. I've been on this for 7 months. I've had less pain/spotting throughout the month, and a lighter flow, but my menstrual pain has increased in intensity, and my periods are still 8 days long.

In July, I returned to the doctor for a prescription refill, and mentioned to him that my cramps were worse. He prescribed 800mg of ibuprofen, 3 times a day for a week before my period. I've been following this for 3 months now, and I've had no improvement at all. The ibuprofen helps somewhat if I take it when I already have cramps, but taking it beforehand doesn't have any noticeable effect.

I have an appointment for a Pap test on November 8th. When I tell my doctor I'm not feeling any better, what do you think the next step in treatment will be? Do you think he'll suggest a laparoscopy? I'm afraid he will.


EDIT to add: I've just been diagnosed with hypertension, so I will have to stop taking HBC. So, I don't think continuous birth control is an option for me. Sorry, I forgot to mention that!

I was just finished my period this past Saturday night/Sunday morning when Sunday night at 8:20pm my boyfriend and I had sex, we did use a condom, but he finished a little early for me, and instead of stopping, I kept thrusting myself on his penis (I was on top). I finished about 30 seconds later and by this time his penis was going flaccid (but not totally flaccid) so i got up and noticed a ball (like the size of two un-popped corn kernels) of white clumpy stuff coming out from between the base of the penis and the edge of the condom. I was confused and wasn't sure if it was my vaginal fluids or his cum. However after touching and analyzing it we realized it was most likely his cum since it was clumpy instead of more slick, which i assume vaginal fluids are more like. But we weren't sure if that cum had just secreted out of the condom and stayed their and perhaps touched ONLY my labia or if it could have gone from my labia into my vagina with my thrusting.

It's worthy to mention that I came off my birth control pills in February and thus am not using any form of hormonal birth control. So in fear I took  Emergency Contraception/Plan B 3 minutes after we realized what had happened. I didn't notice much side effects from taking the pills as directed (12 hours apart) but a slight stomach ache. Nevertheless, last night (which was the fifth day after taking EC) I noticed some light spotting that was brown with some kind of brown tissues as well on my panties and when i wiped after urinating as well as slight pain on my right abdominal side. Also, this morning (sixth day) I bled on my panties the same brown color just more blood not heavy just moderate period style blood, again with the  right sided abdominal pain (which isn't unbearable just slightly painful).

My questions are:

1. Could this bleeding be due to hormonal rejection (since i am aware EC works for 5 days)? has anyone else had a similar experience 5-6 days after taking EC? Is this normal? I thought that symptoms only occurred 48 hours after taking the pills, and assumed period changes would occur but not until weeks later. Could it be my period being resumed after it was stopped from taking the pills?

2. Is the abdominal pain normal to get 5-6 days later? Do you think its related to the bleeding? or could it be totally separate and  do to the pills ruining something in my system and causing me to feel this pain? Could it be an ectopic pregnancy?

3. What are my chances of pregnancy? Since we had sex on the last day/day after my period ended, I don't think I would be able to ovulate 5 days after that day right? Even if I could/did ovulate within that time frame I had taken EC.

Thanks

 Hey, I'm not overly worried but just curious if anyone else has experienced this.  I had my period at the beginning of August but then not again until this month.  I'm not on any form of birth control (I can't take HBC and I've never been on any) and I'm a virgin so no change of being pregnant.  My period lasted 9/10 days which is about twice as long as usual.  Then on Wednesday it came back only 10 days after it last finished.  It strikes me as being particularly heavy this time round.   I used to be extremely regularly and then I would skip occasionally which my doc didn't think was anything major to worry about.  But I've never had it like this before (twice in a month I mean).

 I have been very stressed out and struggling emotionally (recently restarted fluoxetine) and I know that may have played a part.  Was just wondering if anyone else had ever experienced anything like that.  I was thinking that I should probably wait and see how long this period lasts and when it comes again (unless, of course this lasts for weeks on end) before seeing the doc as I've a feeling that would be their advice.  Also, at what point in time should I get worried about the possibility of this making me anaemic?  I have been trying to eat iron rich foods.

Thanks in advance, Emma
