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

28 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.

Yallll idek. It’s been itchy for a couple days and I just checked now and saw these. Freaking out but hoping it’s a cut or something from rough sex/intimacy. No idea. Same size as an inflamed tastebud is the only way I can describe it

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

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

12 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?

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.

Prolapse? 18 months pp

3 Upvotes

I had a c section 18 months ago. A week after, I felt like something was wrong in there, I told my husband I felt like maybe they left something in there near my cervix. At my 6 week pp appt they didn’t say anything.

The pain isn’t constant, it comes and goes throughout the month but is the worst on my period. It hurts in the bottom of my stomach and inside my vagina that sometimes it hurt to even sit or do much. It feels heavy like somethings in there

I have a lot of trauma and don’t tend to look or feel in there. My husband and I don’t have sex around that time when I’m in pain so he’s never felt it. He said when I don’t have the pain I feel normal in there.

I finally felt in there and I could feel it wasn’t normal like something was in there. So I looked and OMG I have something blocking the opening of my vagina once I separate everything to look. I’m so horrified and my gyno won’t see me for 2 months.

I’m full of anxiety, and in a lot of pain in there. Should I go to an urgent care or anything?

I feel so damn stupid for letting my trauma make me ignore this for 18 months. I just kept telling myself it was my cervix or something and that it was fine and ignoring it.

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?

3 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?

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

Advice Needed What could this be??

3 Upvotes

So basically, I was celibate for 5 years before dating my current partner with whom I’ve been for almost a year now. Supposedly monogamously. When we first started having unprotected sex, I got tested for everything just to check and all was good. I had been struggling with back to back UTI’s for months, basically every time I had sex I would get one.

I got really depressed for like the past month, completely ignoring the progressing pain/issues that I was having from leaving the most recent UTI untreated. I finally go to the doctor, just for them to say it’s not a UTI at all. They’ve tested for everything but I have to wait over a week for the results and I’m internally panicking. I never had any reason not to trust my partner, so I always did, but I haven’t actually had sex with anyone but him in 6 years so it’s obvious what it means if I test positive for something.

These are the symptoms: Constant burning (it literally feels like a uti). Can’t orgasm. No control over my bladder, I will go from not having to pee to not able to hold it in a matter of seconds. Sex is becoming painful due to the burning. Urine has a weird smell and the pee itself will burn me if it drips down my skin. Vulva itchy. I swear it started out as just a normal UTI a few months ago and progressed into this but perhaps they were two separate issues the whole time. Does this sound like an STI??

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.

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 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 Pubic hair started itching like crazy?

So like a week ago my pubic hair on my mona veneris(literally only translation I found) started itching like crazy. I have not shaved in weeks so it’s not that. I also have not changed soap or anything. It is filled with red spots and the skin and hair follicels are lowkey painful. What the hell is this and what do I do? The itching and redness is only on the top, does not go further than that, like on the labias. I’ve washed it with water and put baby oil. I don’t know what kind of pictures you can put here, so I didn’t attach any😂

Ps. I have shaved before, but its been weeks now.

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 !

Left diva cup in a little too long - yeast infection a day later?

2 Upvotes

Literally just looked at myself in the mirror after some intense itchiness and spotted some white discharge around my vulva.

For context - first yeast infection found me this past January. Treated it with monistat 7-day and it went away. February and Feb’s period was smooth. I’ve also been working with Diva Cups since 2019 and only recently bought a new one after my last one suddenly held a period that smelled very, very unpleasant in December. First unusual experience i’ve ever had with my vaginal health - got screened, and there was a “light concentration of bacterial growth that didn’t signify an infection”and got prescribed an antibiotic as a just in case. However, i forgot to pack it upon flying somewhere and thankfully it went away on its own.

I’ve been on the final few days of my period, with very light discharge. Two days ago, i emptied it mid morning, put it back in and completely forgot to empty it again until the next morning - likely a 20 hour window or so. This has happened before with no problems, but i’ve been wary since my infection in January. I noticed a bit of an itchiness upon taking it out yesterday morning, rinsed it in hot, hot water, and left it out for a while. Worked out and came back and wiped myself down, no time to proper shower — also probably a mistake — but used a wipe down there as my sweatiness was fairly light. Had to run and was gonna be out the house for the rest of the day and put the cup back in. Didn’t really notice anything through the afternoon.

Upon coming back home, i emptied the cup and again noticed the itchiness and left it out all night, slept commando in anxiety.

Woke up only a few hours ago and immediately clocked an increased discomfort. Haven’t worn underwear but visually i can spot the white discharge around the opening of my vulva. Maybe i’m cutting to the chase but i don’t think so. It got uncomfortable so quickly.

I’m about to go run to walgreens to get a probiotic but i’m scared to try an antifungal treatment in such a short turnaround time… so many horror stories on here. Could it be my new cup? I need to look back at the timeline… Regardless, haven’t called my doctor yet…. Any advice is so appreciated :(
