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?

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.

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

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.

I will say I was able to have penetrative sex at 20 ( very slowly and with entry pain). But and the pain did diminish slightly with regular sex but the entry pain and tearing always kind of stayed. I am also able to use tampons.
This kind of condition I have is generally called dyspareunia and/or vestibulodynia (which is the term for provoked pain). Vulvodynia would be unprovoked pain which I had no issues with. A vestibulectomy works best for provoked pain according to studies.

But I’ve also always had problems with fingering or putting tampons , it just feels uncomfortable and I never even managed with the tampons kek. I had sex only once and I honestly didn’t have that good of an experience, the guy I was with fingered me with no problem, but I really didn’t like it at all. And when it came to PIV I was really tight and it really hurt despite him being slow, but once I got more relaxed I managed and it started being good. He tried putting me on top but it couldn’t really enter kek.
Despite having sex that one time I still can’t put more than one finger without feeling discomfort and I can’t put tampons either.

Anyone else had vaginal problems caused by sex for seemingly no reason? Did you ever find a solution aside from no longer having sex with that person? I keep getting problems with my boyfriend and he is my first sex partner, so I can't tell if it's just related to him. We are also long distance and are only together irl twice a year for a month at a time, so the only time we have sex is during these visits, unsure if this could be relevant.
>First met and had sex with my boyfriend in summer of 2023, I was his first and he was also my first
>I was on the pill and we did not use condoms, he also finished inside
>After the first time we had sex, I noticed that I had yellow discharge, but I assumed it was probably just leftover semen, so I wasn't really concerned
>Yellow discharge ended up never going away even after the visit ended, but I kind of got used to it and didn't think much of it
>Visited and had regular unprotected sex with him again in winter of 2023
>Yellow discharge continued, but no new symptoms
>Visited and had regular unprotected sex again in summer of 2024
>Started getting symptoms of a UTI shortly after, but when tested the results came back negative
>Assumed it could possibly be BV given the yellow discharge, used treatment gel but my symptoms didn't improve
>Symptoms continued on and off for a couple of months, seemed to only be getting worse
>Started getting spots of blood in my underwear so I got a vaginal swab, came back positive for staph bacteria
>Hospitalised for pelvic inflammatory disease a month later, November 2024
>Also tested at hospital for STDs, results all came back negative
>Was given a two week course of antibiotics that ended up giving me both vaginal and oral thrush
>Decided that I wouldn't let him finish inside of me after this experience, stopped taking BC anyway so it wouldn't be possible regardless
>Visited him again in December 2024, first had sex almost immediately after treatment ended
>First time was without condom but he pulled out
>Yellow discharge appeared to restart almost immediately after
>Due to the fact that the time between finishing treatment and having sex again was super short, and that I was on my period during the second week of treatment, I honestly don't know for sure if the yellow discharge did ever truly go away
>Do however know that even if it didn't go away, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as it was after I first had sex
>Started mostly using condoms after that, did go without a couple of times but he always pulled out
>Around a week and a half after the first time, I started having terrible shooting pains in my vagina which has never happened before, but this only lasted a couple of days
>Fast forward to now, starting to get a constant burning feeling in my vagina again and have noticed an odor a couple of times, scared it could be PID again
What the hell could be causing this? He showers at least once a day, often twice. He isn't circumcised but he washes his dick in the shower and I can visibly see that it is clean. He definitely doesn't have any STDs either. Are our microbiomes just incompatible or something?

I'm gonna have PIV sex for the first time soon and I need advice. I'm super attracted to the guy and want it badly so that's not the issue. My problem is that I'm scared not only of how it will feel, but also over him possibly not fitting inside. I have vaginismus as well as a microperforate hymen. The opening of my vag is tiny and sticking only two of my own fingers in feels like too much. And my bf is tall and "well endowed" so to speak. The thought of him not only entering me but also thrusting for however long it takes him to cum scares me a little. Can he injure me? Is there anything I can do to prepare myself for it? Pelvic exercises? I never masturbated with a dildo but now I'm considering starting a pussy bootcamp to get ready, would that be a good idea? Anything else I need to know before my first time? Appreciate ya, nonnies.

When I first tried to lose my virginity to him he literally couldn’t put it in and we had to do a bunch of fingering to break my hymen before he could finally put it in, which took about a week. It hurts at first but if you keep doing it and relax it doesn’t hurt and feels okay to pleasurable depending on how good the foreplay is , just make sure to tell him to go slow and shallow and if it’s painful tell him to stop or go slower

The first time I tried weed I remember how bloated it made me feel which still happens if I haven't smoked in a while. Shrooms makes my "groin area" feel weird too but more horny, whereas weed makes you feel like you've just become aware you have ovarian cancer and didn't notice before, for some reason (paranoia + bloating).

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/microbiology/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2021.789983/fullDefine "problem". They do experience a pathogenic (reduction in l.crispatus, introduction of penile anaerobes) change after each intercourse, it's just that it does not always produce short term symptoms. Diagnosable BV that makes you smell foul and causes pain, iirc, is found in 30% of women, subclinical BV-liks microbiota is more common, and restoration of original l.crispatus microbiome is possible if you don't have sex for X amount of time. It's fair to assume that the initial penile microbiome transfer/reintroduction will cause your vagina to hate you unless some sort of immune tolerance is involved eventually, which could explain the vague "BV may be caused by a change in sexual partners" idea. Interestingly, female chimps and bonobos all have BV-consistent microbiomes, while humans don't. The native "healthy" microbial makeup of a vagina is also mildly spermicidal kek.
BV is independently
triggered by the male anaerobe-dominated microbiome (hence why you can get it from a virgin), but a specific strain can also be transferred by a male from another woman.
So in conclusion, women in long term relationships do have "problems" or a deviation from an objective standpoint, they just may not personally know, think it's a problem, or their microbiomes are made to be less hostile by BC. For example, if you were to decide to have regular sex with him, the natural state of your vagina would change and you would no longer experience symptoms after every intercourse. Also, uncircumcised dicks have
a lot more anaerobic and fecal bacteria, so your vagina is giving you the full "what the fuck did you just put in me I fucking hate you" experience. It will give up eventually.
