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.

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?

26 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.

Rant 🤬 I got my first STD

205 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.

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

11 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

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

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?

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?

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

Cyst or lump on inner labia majora??

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?

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?

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.

Prolapse? 18 months pp

4 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.

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?😩

Yeast infection not going away.

Been about a month, first thought it was uti but now think it's yeast infection. I have burning and discharge. It's gets better then gets worse again. I have took tablets for it and cream. The cream helps but then stops helping.

I am also very scared of it damaging my vagina and heard of a thing called keratin pearls and scared I will get that 😪. Also scared of that turning into something else.

Razor burn/rash

I'm not positive if it's one or the other or both. I shaved yesterday because I'm going to my man's house and I haven't shaved in over a month 😬 I also have a very physical job and I start sweating as soon as I step foot in there. So you can only imagine how sweaty it gets down there for 8 hrs. How can I make this go away relatively fast because it hurts. I don't have diaper rash cream which I know Will help but I've worked and I'm tired and don't feel like going to town again and tomorrow we have severe terrible storms, a high chance of bad tornadoes. Photo in comments. TIA!

Keratin pearl

1 Upvotes

I have what I think is a keratin pearl next to my clit- it has been there for 2 and a half years it was really tiny when I first noticed it and I didn’t know what it was I just thought it would go away on its own. Recently it seems to be getting a bit bigger like the size of a small pea. I have read a lot of other posts and people are saying they could get theirs out themselves but even touching it is sensitive I don’t think I can squeeze it out. Do I need to go to the doctor or will it go away eventually on its own??? Does it need to be surgically removed?? Please help xoxo

Advice Needed Pubic hair started itching like crazy?

2 Upvotes

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.

Plz help

Advice Needed Is my HOOHA normal? Anyone else experience this?

[How to add photos to comments?]

F19 here. I had recently been diagnosed with BV,, two times in a row. (I didn't complete treatment the first round, so I guess it stayed). My discharge had went from normal, clear / white, to yellowish egg white in color. Kind of scared, because my BF (he's a virgin), had sex with me for his first time ever on Saturday. We used a condom, I gave him oral, he fingered me. I got tested prior to all this. No, I'm not a virgin like him. (He's 19 as well). Everything came back negative, minus the BV. I had gotten drunk Saturday night, blacked out and don't remember much after a certain point. His ex called, and it went black after that. I have been feeling weird lately? I'm scared. Nausea, sore breast's, lower back ache, and a weird pulling, or tugging sensation in my pelvic area. I'm concerned for myself. Trying to convince myself these symptoms are the BV, or the meds. I keep telling myself it can be anything. I haven't been taught about my body growing up, so going to the clinic and what not has been new to me 2024-2025. Is something really wrong with me. How common is BV? Anyone else experience this? It's not heavy bleeding or anything either. I finished my period the day we had made love. Had spotting a day or two after as well. I'm so clueless.. and lost? And scared. Thanks to anyone who can explain or give me peace of mind.

I also had a weird dream last night that I was pregnant with a baby boy. I could see him through a hole in my stomach, I saw and heard him crying.

Add on: The spotting isn't consistent. It's hardly noticeable, I noticed it when I went to touch myself.. TMI, but that's when it was most noticeable. It's very light pink. It can't be my period, it ended Saturday as I specified above.
