This article is all about finding solutions to those stressful sexual health situations that inevitably crop up when you’re getting down? lots of you are worried about your vaginas being “not normal”. We will tell you right now that the following worries you’ve had, dear readers, are actually totally normal. Most of us have a list of questions that we are too embarrassed to ask our ob-gyn. Some of us even believe it’s probably not right to ask certain questions to the doctor. That’s what friends are for! But sometimes the info you’ve heard from your best bud is really not the right answer. So, here are a few of your vaginal doubts explained by the experts.
Something to remember before we get started: I'm not a doctor. These are generic guidelines about vaginal health that are all true and verified, but I haven't seen specifically what you've got going on, and even if you showed me, I still wouldn't be able to diagnose you because, like I said, I'm not an OBGYN. So if you feel something's off, by all means, go see your doctor! She'll tell you what's up.
1. How Do I Stop Acne In My Pubic Area?
Gynecologists say it’s not really acne that’s disturbing you down there. But the bumps are a result of using a razor. Stop using your razor for a while to rule out an infection or a rash. If you really want to get rid of the hair, waxing is a better choice. Or keep it simple and just go on natural.
2. Why Does My Vagina Smell Bad?
This worry can lead to personal stress and embarrassment, and even in some cases, people not having as much sex as they want to because they feel their smell is too disruptive to the sexy vibe. Yes, vaginas have a smell, and that smell fluctuates throughout the menstrual cycle. Your most intense vaginal odor is often during your period, as well as when you sweat. This is all completely normal. If you are experiencing strong vaginal odor that’s annoying or stressful to you, you should go to a doctor to make sure that you don’t have bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis, because these can cause unhealthy vaginal odor. But if you don’t have anything medical going on, that means this is just your vagina’s natural scent.
If that perturbs you, there are some things you can do to lessen it. You can wash your vulva and labia with water and unscented soap. Please don’t use scented soaps, vaginal deodorants, or douches as these can cause vaginal infection. Also, make sure you’re not leaving tampons in for a long period of time because they are tiny sponges that retain smell. You can wear cotton panties to air yourself out down there so you don’t get sweaty. Finally, if you're really concerned, some foods that have strong smells can intensify your vaginal scent. These include coffee, onions, garlic, strong spices, dairy, and meat.
3. Why Do I Discharge So Much?
Vaginal discharge is a really important part of reproductive health. The fluid that comes from glands within your vagina and cervix and flows out onto your panties is actually a cleaning agent as it exits your premises, it clears away bacteria and dead cells, thereby keeping your vagina squeaky clean and infection free. Vaginal discharge fluctuates normally throughout your menstrual cycle. It can range from no color at all to a milky white. The amount you discharge can change based on things like stress, ovulation, pregnancy, and of course, being turned on. The amount can also fluctuate during your life.
The hormonal birth control containing estrogen gradually increases how much discharge your body makes, so that could also be what’s going on. You may also have forgotten a tampon up there (hey, nobody’s perfect) and your body is trying to eject it through a homegrown slip’n’slide. However, you could also just be a human who discharges more.
4. Can You Tell How Many Sexual Partners I’ve Had?
Nobody, including gynecologists, can tell how many sexual partners you’ve been with. The vagina is a mighty and elastic organ. During sex, it stretches to accommodate a penis but it always returns back to its original state after sex. However, the vagina does loosen up a bit after vaginal birth but it’s hardly noticeable. Sometimes you would realize it by inserting your regular choice of the tampon. This doesn’t mean it’s going to drop down easily. It just means the tampon wouldn’t fit as snug as it was before. That’s what Kegel exercises are for!
5. Why Is It So Hard For Me To Get Wet?
Some people have the opposite "problem" and experience vaginal dryness 40 percent of women in the united states, in fact. If you have a dry pussy (which can happen all the time or just sometimes), you may also experience itchiness, burning, mild bleeding and pain during sex due to chafing or tearing of the vaginal lining and frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Reasons for why this may be happening to you include low levels of estrogen, because estrogen is the primary maintainer of your vaginal lubrication; some medications including antihistamines, asthma medications, and anti-estrogen medications; the autoimmune disorder Sjogren’s syndrome, which is rare but does exist; and even irritants like douches, soaps, and lubricants that have perfume in them. Finally, you could just not be turned on enough, which is totally normal some people need a lot of time and foreplay before penetration to get excited enough for their bodies to help them out with lubrication. If you’re dry down there, use lube, and practice good communication with your sexual partners.
6. Why Does It Itch During My Period?
During your period, before your period there’s just a lot going on in your nether regions. If you feel itchy right before your period, it could mean your hormones are acting up and it could be dipping your estrogen levels. This results in vaginal dryness and you end up feeling the itch. But if it’s during your period, it could be an allergic reaction to your tampon. If the itching doesn’t seem to go away, consult a doctor to rule out infections or a yeast imbalance.
7. How Do I Stop Squirting?
Some people with vaginas ejaculate during sex. Anywhere from 10 and 69 percent of women report it, if we’re counting (which we are because numbers are reassuring). Female ejaculate is not urine (seriously, let’s set that ridiculous argument to rest). It’s a milky white substance made from your skene glands, which can be found on either side of your vaginal opening, on the upper wall, near the lower part of your urethra. This substance squirts out of your urethra either before or when you orgasm. (So cool!) If you’re worried about the mess, put a towel down before you start getting busy. Also, remember there’s also nothing wrong with you if you can’t squirt. If you’re wondering if you can ejaculate, you might be able to.
8. Is It Normal To Have a Pussy Fart?
Queefing nicknamed “vaginal fart” is a very normal body function and it shouldn’t worry you at all. It’s just trapped air that forms during sex. But it doesn’t harm or mean anything at all. It could happen during exercise as well. Is there a way to stop it? Not really. Some women insert a tampon to block the air from getting in. But it’s really not required and you shouldn’t be embarrassed about it. Just laugh about it and continue doing your thing!
9. Why Is My Vagina Sore After Sex?
This doesn’t necessarily mean anything has gone wrong, it just means that you’ve had sex. You can take a warm bath or put a warm or cool (not hot!) compress on your pelvic area for a few minutes. Kegels will also help your muscles get stronger, so they are more equipped to handle whatever you want. Lube is your best friend for combating a not great feeling pussy the next day.
10. Why Is My Vagina Shaped Weirdly?
Labia can be shaped in a number of ways, and all the ways are normal! Seriously, some people have nearly no pussy lips, while others’ are luscious and large. Whatever your lips are shaped like, they are normal. Recent trends that seek to alter labia through the surgical process of what’s actually called designer vaginoplasty are not evidence-based and can result in serious health complications such as infection, changes in-sensation, and scarring. Similarly, clits can differ from human to human. from where they are placed in relation to the vaginal opening to how big they are to how much they are covered by their hoods. Again, this is all completely normal, The surgical procedure removing the hood is called clitoral unhooding or hoodectomy; this isn’t recommended by healthcare organizations because there’s no medical reason for it, only medical risks.
11. Can I Really Lose Something In My Vagina?
You can’t really lose something in your vagina. But certain things can get stuck up there and you would need to maneuver your fingers to bring it out. Or maybe pay a visit to your gynecologist. Most common things that get stuck are condoms, tampons, diaphragms, and sponges. Some women forget they already have a tampon inserted and insert a new one. If that’s the case, it’s going to leave a strong odor. You need to get this out to avoid the risk of toxic shock syndrome.
