>>436445Is this for the BV study? It sounds like it could help lots of women, I'd do it.
>>436450Yes you should. It decreases your chances of getting cervical cancer. Literally no reason not to do it.
No. 436867
>>436450Yes nonna. Get it. It will protect you from the strains that are commonly associated with cervical cancer.
The HPV vaccine is honestly a life saver, all women should get it, given that checking for HPV is tricky , it’s a very common infection that many have without even knowing it and that you specifically have to ask for it in order to check. Be proactive nonna.

A couple months ago I had a real bad yeast infection, and it's come back twice now - both times right before ovulation. These flare ups aren't nearly as bad as the first round but still unpleasant and I sure would like them to stop.
Since it seems to be linked to my cycle and I have a decent idea of when it's going to come back, is there anything preventative I can do rather than wait until I'm suffering?
I'm wary of overmedicating by using a proper antifungal when I don't have symptoms, but would something gentler like picrel be worth trying?

>>437521Beware of homeopathy
nonnie, there's literally no active ingredients in that. If you really wanna do all natural, search for boric acid suppositories instead

>>438102My hygiene is A) good and B) unchanged. Daily showers, clean underwear, etc. I'm not prefect, like I don't change my towels every three days like you're supposed to but I'm washing them as frequently as I always have and until three months ago I'd never had a yeasty in my life.
First doctor I spoke to was completely unphased, ran some tests to confirm there was nothing more to it and just told me to keep using the same antifungal whenever it comes back.
I went to a different doctor today who was also very "yeah this happens sometimes" when I told her it was three months in a row but at least prescribed me some fluconazole for the next 6 weeks to hopefully flush it out properly.

>>438369dude WHAT? Stop reading what incels and
femcels say . I have NEVER EVER heard anyone talking about clit size in a demeaning way. Well except when the clits are as big as little penises… but small clits? Never.

>>438929It differs from one person to another. I understand what you mean with the stinging sensation, that happens to me when I'm not aroused or wet enough. I masturbate only with my fingers and never had sex, but I know the sensation you're talking about because that's when it happens. But when I'm really horny and into it after my period is finished and during the time leading up to ovulation, I get super aroused and the stinging disappears completely and I can fit more fingers and it feels so good from start to finish, even the opening itself getting anything touching it is pleasurable. Inside my vagina, I find it most pleasurable when I angle my finger upwards towards my abdomen whether a bit further inside or in the beginning of the canal, and raising my hips upwards really helps tightening it in a pleasurable way and it feels so intense, it's a bit overwhelming at times, so I still haven't orgasmed from it because I chickened out and gave up half way through leading up to an orgasm, lol. But I know that if I keep doing it that way and get used to it, it will be amazing.

Can a nona recommend some masturbation strategies? I only know how to masturbate by flexing my lower body really hard and tbh it’s not that good and hardly worth the effort. I’m a virgin but I worry that once I have sex I won’t be able to enjoy it because I just do not understand my anatomy. I stuck a finger up my vagina once out of curiosity. I barely got past the first knuckle, and it was painful.
I don’t really get horny except in my sleep. I only really get off sexually while dreaming. I blame this on not having the right man in my life but idk. Anyone relate? Is something wrong with me

>>439082I can’t put anything inside me either nonna. I just masturbate on the outside and I do get pretty good orgasms so I’m satisfied kek. I managed to have sex the only time I did it, but I can’t put anything in on my own and when I got fingered I didn’t really like it that much.
Anyway relax yourself on your bed and just be patient, spread your legs and caress your thighs. You can either use lobe or spit if you aren’t wet enough and then just caress and play with yourself slowly, starting from the outside and then slowly reach for your clit and just rub it from side to side or in a circular motion. You just need to be patient. When you’re close you can also stop and resume again , more than once, it’s more satisfying when you end up orgasming that way.

i’ve had a recurring yeast infection for like almost a year now that will go away for about 3 weeks after i take some flucan and then come right back, usually either when i’m ovulating or if i have sex with my bf. i have changed all my habits to try to avoid it but nothing is working! i don’t take baths, i got a ph balanced, unscented soap to wash my vulva with, i stopped letting my bf finish in me, make him wash his hands and brush his teeth before we do anything, and we’re barely doing anything beyond kissing at this point because i’m so anxious about getting another infection so i don’t think it’s his fault, only wear cotton underwear, and i’ve been using boric acid and probiotic suppositories. nothing is working and i am losing my mind and it also feels like it can’t be healthy to be taking an antifungal medication this often, like i’m scared i’m creating some fucked up evil super-yeast.
i’ve never had this happen before, the only time i’ve gotten yeast infections in the past is from taking antibiotics but those always cleared up quickly and easily but then last year my ex cheated on me and i think gave me bv and ever since then my microbiome has been FUCKED. i have a doctors appointment with my gp in a couple weeks and i’m going to ask him to run some bloodwork because i’m worried i could be pre-diabetic or something as uncontrolled blood sugar is the only thing my gynecologist has suggested could be the cause but as far as i’m aware my blood sugar has always been normal. i’m just reaching the end of my rope tbh, i can’t even enjoy sex anymore because i’m so stressed out about getting another infection that my head is somewhere else the whole time and i just want my bf to eat me out in peace goddammit

Found a great in-depth resource on how much vaginas can differ externally, thought it'd be worth sharing here

>>440798Seconding this, I've had one before and it felt like a hard round ball inside of the labia minora skin, scared the hell out of me. I ended up using a hot washcloth on it
until it sort of ended up "popping" like a zit and it hasn't happened again.

I had a rough time today.. Today was the day I was supposed to change my copper IUD for the second time in my life. I knew the pain would be excruciating, but I was mentally prepared and ready for what was to come. The very nice midwife starts the procedure and SHE COULDN'T GET IT OUT!! The threads were visible but it wouldn't budge, she even called in a second person to try but still nothing.. She referred me to a gynecologist at the hospital who's gonna try and remove it with the help of ultrasound in 2 weeks. I have no doubt in my mind I'm in for the worst pain of my life and I'm super fucking scared.
