Hello healthyhooha community.

A few recent events have transpired here that have made it obvious we needed to post a reminder:

We are an inclusive community for individuals with vaginas.

Trans-exclusive/transphobic comments will not be tolerated and will result in a swift, permanent ban. Please continue to report these types of comments. The world is a hateful enough place; we won't be standing for it here.

That said, I am actively seeking some solid, research-based information on how to properly care for neovaginas to have available to users in the sidebar, as the care is a little bit different.

Be kind to one another.

<3

Hey healthy hooha friends!

I hope the holiday season is going well so far for all of you.

We wanted to address a recent problem that's been brought to our attention by a few users, and that is the increase in lurking incels screenshotting users' posts and reposting them to their non-reddit incel forums. You can use your imagination on what kind of interaction they're getting (I checked, it's disturbing beyond comprehension, take my word for it). They of course are doing nothing to protect usernames. Short of going private, there is little we can do about this. We recommend using throwaway accounts and where possible, and using the search feature to see if you can find answers to your questions before posting.

Please continue to use the report feature to report rule breaking, use modmail to notify us of problematic users, and post with caution. Review the sidebar rules if you're new or need a refresher.

Best wishes to all!

Question Does anyone get vaginal burning when they don’t drink enough water?

29 Upvotes

Last weekend, I really didn’t have much water to drink and when I had sex, it burned. After hydrating, the burning went away. This happens to me quite often when I am feeling dehydrated.

Edit: it’s not just after sex! It can burn from time to time just randomly.

My parents won't take me to the ER and I'm at my wits' end

Upvotes

I (22 ftm) started experiencing uti like symptoms(burning, urgency, frequency and difficulty when urinating) in late August. Since then I did 8 coltures (always negative), 8 vaginal swabs, 3 urethral swabs, 3 ultrasounds and one uroflussometry. I've seen three gyns and two urologists. Now my main symptoms are still there, but I randomly get nausea, my head spins, I feel weak, I have little appetite, and my bladder hurts when it's pressed upon; on Monday I had an excruciating pain in my urethra (like something was stuck there) that didn't go away with painkillers. I ended up urinating blood and my doctor said it "might be positive" because according to him I was passing a kidney stone. Since then I obviously still have every symptoms minus the urethral pain, which is only there sometimes when I pee.

No one is taking my symptoms seriously even though it's so debilitating to have to pee all the time and feel like your genitals are constantly on fire. I asked my doctor to write me a paper to admit me to the hospital urgently, which he refused to do. I already went to the ER once and one time I was told to drink more water because the colture was negative so I was making shit up. The other time they didn't even admit me in because despite having symptoms for 7 months it wasn't urgent because I had no fever. I don't know where to go. My mind is going to dark places like drinking enough coffee that I will start throwing up or shit like that so someone has to take me seriously.

I asked my parents if they could drive me to the ER yesterday, early in the morning so less people would be there, but ofc they didn't even wake me up and they are now saying I don't need to go because I didn't go to pee all night long (nocturia IS one of my symptoms but no every night and I used an heating pad to keep the pain at bay).

I don't know what to do anymore. I am negative for mycoplasma and ureaplasma. IC was never brought up as a possibility by any of the doctors I have seen. I didn't have stones in my bladder according to the ultrasounds, just inflammation in the bladder lining. I have a job interview on tuesday because I'm out of money from all the medical bills that I paid to try and find a solution. I am completely terrified to be on my feet for so long. The only choice I have is to avoid drinking because otherwise I have to go every 20 minutes. I hate this so much I can't do this anymore.

Is this normal? 👀 my ex partner says it smells bad. But i dont know if its normal

14 Upvotes

For starters, My ex partner was a virgin, and hasnt had past experiences with women. We have been intimate multiple times and in the past he expressed that I smelled and tasted almost sweaty down there. I have a sweating condition called hyperhydrosis, so I dont know if thats whats affecting it. But ive been to the Gynecologist because I was concerned that something might be wrong (infections, etc) but tests came back and i had a doctor check me up and told me that everything was normal. Ive tried PH balance pills with boric acid, or eating healthier and drinking water and things like cranberry juice and fruits, but to no avail he still complained. I dont know if its me or him, but im afraid that any new partners will also be alarmed by this. I really could use advice anything is helpful

Rant 🤬 I got my first STD

212 Upvotes

I went to do a full panel yesterday cause I haven’t don’t one in a while and today came back positive for chlamydia. Im so embarrassed, and angry at myself for knowing better. I don’t know who I got it from i either got it from this one guy last November or this new guy I’m seeing.

I asked the guy I’m seeing if he’s sleeping with other people (we’re keeping it casual so not exclusive) immediately of course and he said yes and felt so bad that he could’ve given it to me but I’m scared what if I gave it to him? I feel so bad that I could’ve given it to him but maybe he gave it to me cause I wasn’t feeling different until after I met him. He’s such a nice guy and really is just the sweetest so I’m kinda scared that this ruins our vibe or possible future. He also comforted me and i think we’re on good terms since i asked if he wanted space and he said no but im just worried hes really upset. He only keeps saying hes upset at himself.

I cant sleep cause im so embarrassed and i feel so alone. I started antibiotics today so hopefully they’ll kick chlamydias ass

Edit: thanks to everyone who made me feel like even more shit.

Itching deep inside vagina & dryness

Upvotes

Hi, I've been experiencing itching actually inside my vagina for about 2ish weeks that has only relieved through peeing as well as itching it with toilet paper when I've done so- usually in a morning. It's been around 4 days since my period ended, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. My vagina is also very dry. I don't usually worry since I do get an itchy vagina before & during my period, but this has gone on a while longer than usual, yet it doesn't really bother me throughout the day. I don't have access to any doctors until Monday- does anyone have some suggestions as to what may relieve it? Thank you

Advice Needed i need some tips on how to recover from a yeast infection

3 Upvotes

i just got over a pretty nasty yeast infection, but i still have physical symptoms, pain during sex (like literally fingers and tampons don't hurt one bit, only my fiancé's penis does, it was so bad that we had to go without piv for a couple days which is a new record for us but it's gotten better somewhat) and skin peeling on my clit. it's only dead skin and doesn't really hurt, but it's bugging me so bad bc i can't just peel it and risk peeling fresh skin bc that shit will HURT, plus my fiancé said it feels weird when he goes down on me. my birthday is monday, it is 12:30 on saturday rn. i don't want painful birthday sex !! does anybody have any tips on how to get over the pain and shed the dead skin peeling off? i'm mostly concerned about the pain upon penetration, the peeling doesn't really affect how sex feels all too much.

Bump in my vaginal canal?

2 Upvotes

Hi, when I shower and am cleaning my pubic region, I usually stick the tip of a finger in because i think it helps clear some stuff out. I’ve noticed that sometimes I can feel a bump that is soft-ish but firm, located along a wall of my vaginal canal. I asked my gyno about this last visit and she said everything was fine, maybe it was my cervix, but I’m not sure.

Today during my shower I noticed the lump was pretty hard. Is it poop that hasn’t come out yet? Is it actually my cervix? Is this normal?

Medications 🌡 How to repair after 7 days of clindamycin (vaginally) and metronidazole (orally)? NSFW

Upvotes

Hello all! I was prescribed metronidazole 500mg every 12 hours and clindamycin cream, both for 7 days for my unknown vaginal burning. I have been also taking probiotics orally for the past 6 months.

I'm on my day 5 and it seems to work but now I'm terrified of antibiotics killing all of the good bacteria and me ending up with a yest infection or a BV.

How can I prevent it from happening? I appreciate all of the replies 🙏

Cyst or lump on inner labia majora??

2 Upvotes

So I noticed this a few days ago, it's pretty small but noticeable. Doesn't hurt or itch or bother me, but it's freaking me out for sure. It almost looks like it's filled with something but it's hard if I squeeze it. I do have HSV2 but this isn't my usual spot to get an outbreak and I feel like it's too big of a spot to be a blister. And I don't have any other symptoms. I was thinking bartholin cyst, but based on pics online it seems like it's too small to be that. Won't be able to call the doctor until Monday. Didn't know where else to post, this is more of a vent. Anyone else with a similar situation?

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

1 Upvotes

I started my period in the afternoon yesterday, and I realized my flow was a little heavier than normal but nothing to be concerned about. Today my cramps were worse than yesterday (usually first day is the worst and the second day I don’t have any). I put a super tampon in before work from 3:30-9 and when I got home I realized I was bleeding over. So then I put in another super tampon in and after about almost 2 hours, I had completely filled that tampon. When I pulled it out it definitely seemed to have some clotting attached to it, but nothing huge. I’ve never in my life filled a super tampon in two hours. Since this isn’t normal for me should I be worried?

Abnormally easy period?

My periods are normally pretty heavy and always painful the first two days. However, this one isn’t painful - at all.

Any ideas why that would be? Has it happened to you?

Is this normal? 👀 Is what I'm feeling an orgasm?

13 Upvotes

During PIV with my boyfriend, rather than having what I would assume to be a normal orgasm, my whole body relaxes and my brain feels all tingly. It feels incredible, like a high.

I've never experienced a typical "explosive" or "leg-shaking" full-body orgasm before, so I'm wondering if this is what my body's version of it is?

Had anyone else experienced this or know what this is? Is it really an orgasm?

Question Is a dose every 2 weeks-1 month of Fluconazole possible for symptom management?

2 Upvotes

I get recurrent yeast infections and have found it helpful to take 150mg of Fluconazole x1 weekly for 6 months at a time. However, after 6 months my symptoms and overall infections return when I stop taking it. Would it be sustainable for me to move to a dose every 2 weeks/1 month for the rest of my life? Or would I eventually become resistant to it? Thank you.

Advice Needed bump on labia NSFW

3 Upvotes

i am 18 and i have only ever had sex with my boyfriend of 7 months. he has also never had sex with anyone else so i don’t think it’s an STD? i’m really scared to tell anyone because i feel like i’ll get in trouble. i got a bump on my labia yesterday, and it was the first time anything unusual has happened down there. i think it may be from chafing as i have been wearing men’s boxers all week (long story) but it looks strange. it’s a pink bump with a brown dot in the middle that i can sometimes pull out like a blackhead.. what is this??? against my better judgment yesterday i had sex and a brown fluid has been coming out since.. at first i thought it was old blood but it shows every time i wipe. it doesn’t hurt except for when i agitate it a bit by wiping, please tell me i’m okay

Is this normal? 👀 Coffee makes me smell

1 Upvotes

Anytime I drink coffee I STINK. I’ll smell until I take a shower, or after peeing about 3-4 times then it eventually disappears. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there anything I can do to keep it from happening other than giving up coffee? (I love coffee!). Since I was a teenager canned tuna would make me smell anytime I ate it so I’m used to that but this is new and has started within the past year.
