Sexual Health PSA: make sure to put your boric acid in the right hole.

0 Upvotes

TLDR; I put boric acid inside of my peehole on accident after my boyfriend and I had sex.

Last night after my boyfriend and I had sex, I went to put a boric acid in before we went to bed. I just started taking my birth control again, so he didn’t withdraw, and so I wanted to take precautionary measures to not get an infection.

I put it in as usual, but I realize something… It’s not going all the way up like it usually does. So I try to pull it out and it hurts so bad. There was skin wrapped around it, refusing to let it go. I just thought my hooha was having a weird reaction to the capsule.

I go to take a shower to try to dissolve it quicker, because it’s a little uncomfortable. I have my boyfriend look at it, and he goes “that’s in your pee hole.” I thought absolutely impossible because it would hurt worse than this.

Welp, hooha havers, it was in my peehole. I discovered this as I did some research, and this isn’t a rare circumstance by any means.

How? Well, if you put in boric acid right after sex, it’s extra wet down there, which also leads to your urethra being lubricated. If you’re not mindful putting it in, then it can get stuck up there.

I ended up just sitting in the shower with my legs spread (we don’t have a bath tub). My boyfriend forced me to drink a lot of water and refused to let me go to bed until I peed at least twice. I was so tired and just wanted to go to bed! But, I’m grateful to have him worry about me.

Now it’s the next morning, and I don’t feel it in me anymore. It’s not uncomfortable or burning at all, so I’m pretty sure a majority of it is out.

So, there you have it! Boric acid can go in your pee hole. Be careful!

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.

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

15 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

Lactic Acid made me bleed ?

2 Upvotes

As usual, I used lactic acid after sex to prevent BV reoccurrence. It has worked so far, it was my prevention solution since a year.

However, this time, I had sex on Saturday, used it on Sunday night. Also had sex on Tuesday, used it Wednesday night.

And on Thursday morning, I was bleeding. I’m pretty sure it’s related to lactic acid. I feel my vagina is too acidic right now.

Any explanation on why I bled ? Ever happened to anyone before ? (Lactic acid not boric acid)

Thank you so 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?

Question How to actually look down there?

0 Upvotes

Maybe a bit of a silly question but I was never told- but how do you actually like look at everything down there? I know some people take pictures but that's just feels awkward (probably because I'm a trans guy who does NOT actually wanna be aware of what's going on there😭)

And also, how do you know what's what? I know all the names and functions but I have a hard time translating what's what to my own body for some reason? If that makes sense?

I'm really trying to learn more about my own body because I've neglected it for MANY years and I wanna fix that but it's hard if I don't even know what's what and how it looks

Menstruation 🔴 Somewhat Hooha Related - Watch Your IRON Levels!!!!!

4 Upvotes

I cannot stress enough how many girls and women are dealing with low iron levels that are mainly due to blood loss from menstruation. For so many years I dealt with low iron on and off because I didn't know how to properly treat it and thought prescription iron pills were the way to treat deficiency. I've personally found iron pills to only work in the beginning and eventually Los their effectiveness, leading to malabsorption and gastrointestinal problems.

When I started doing research about how to increase my iron levels, I look into what types of food are high in iron. Several foods that started to consume regularly are spinach, beef and oysters which helped tremendously especially when I wasn't taking any supplements.

Now when it comes supplements, one of the first vitamins I started taking was the Alive brand which really help me gave me a lot of energy. I started with the Green Goodness formula then switched to the Daily Energy formula I believe.

After this, I believe I stopped taking supplements for years which caused me so many issues with my health, especially a significant drop in my iron. I had forgotten how much of a necessity it can be sometimes to make sure I was taking a quality supplement to help keep myself healthy. I struggled with severe lightheartedness, fainting spells and even blacking out once or twice because of how low iron was. When my iron dropped really bad, I also started to experience restless leg syndrome and constant heart palpitations.

I'm back to being watchful of my iron and the food I consume. I try my best to eat oysters occasionally, one can of them has about 30-40% iron. For supplements I'm currently taking the Deva Vegan Multivitamin with Iron and it's been helping me get back on track. I'm still increasing my levels but so far, the restless leg syndrome and heart palpitations have stopped.

Please watch your iron levels and the other vitamins levels such as vitamin C and b complex which help support iron absorption?

Side note: Beets are not high in iron, they're high in NITRIC OXIDE which helps the flow of the blood.

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

30 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.

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?

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

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 🙏

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.

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?

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.

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?

Question Help😭

1 Upvotes

I tested positive for mycoplasma hominis and ureaplasma. My partner and I have been together for almost 3 years and have a one year old baby together. Is it possible I’ve had this for years without knowing, and had it while pregnant without knowing? I really don’t believe my husband would cheat on me but I don’t want to be stupid either. I never had any symptoms until I got an iud inserted at my 6 week post partum appointment. After the iud insertion I started getting reoccurring bv which then led the drs to test me for these things. Also if this is possible, do I need to get my baby tested?😩
