Vagina Mysteries Solved
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2016
- Some sex lessons I've learned from my own body. I experience something like strange discharge or pain and have to learn from the mystery what's going on. I sure didn't learn from high school sex education that condoms may get lost in the vagina or that UTIs are more common after playful sex.
Hopefully this video solves some of you mysteries and encourages you to solve others.

Just something I want to point out for everyone, sex isn't the only way to get UTI's, so even if you're a virgin or haven't done anything recently, it might still be a UTI. I got one once when I was a little kid.
+
Yep. If you've been to the beach and some sand got into the bottoms? Brace yourself. Wiped back to front? Brace yourself.
Definitely. Masturbation can cause UTI's too, so make sure to urinate after any type of sexytimes, whether you're with a partner or not!
i've gotten so many utis and only some of them were probably caused by sex tbh, like multiple times a year since birth they've come and nobody knows why....my own unsolved vagina mystery
When I was a kid I got a UTI because I took too many bubble baths
years. YEARS!! Ive been trying to figure out whats going on with my discharge. I am the probiotic queen because I kept thinking I was just really prone to yeast infections... and a youtube video finally answers the question for me. lactobacillus!! THANK YOU! You are a gift!!
I had an ex gf with the same problem, after a swim in the lake gave her an infection. Would have been nice to know, then, what was causing the problem.

Cheesey pussy?
How do you treat it? She doesn't cover that part.
"If you're missing a condom, the vagina is the place to look."
-Dr. Doe, 2016
That happened to me once. I know this is a three year old video but, after having sex once the condom was not on my penis at the end of it. I remember reaching into my partners vagina and pulling out the condom. We were both very weirded out by the experience. Yea, I learned a lesson that day.
@@jimmyninetoes8577 I to relate. I was having sex. With my girlfriend many years ago. She was babysitting. The baby had gone to bed. So therefore I showed up. We are on the couch. Having a good old time. And all of a sudden we heard a knock at the door. A little backstory her stepfather had always threatened and he was going to show up. And I better not be there. Because who knows why? He was strange. I guess he was trying to protect her. I had permission from her mother. And for her stepfather 3 dating her but when they saw it fit to see her. We're both young. But I was a little bit older. Back to the story after the knock I jumped up off the couch. Pulled my pants back up. Stuffed everything back in my pants and ran out the back door. We lost. The condom she found it. And her vagina the next day. A week goes by and she doesn't get her period for weeks. It scared the living hell out of both of us. Because I don't know that her mother. Had any idea that she was sexually active. Or that sexually active. I pray that you would get her period. Then I get a call from her from school. That she got it. It was the one of the best. Phone calls I've ever gotten. In my life. At that point it was a second or third time that we had had intercourse. And I was very much in love with her as she was in love with me. And I was concerned that she wouldn't want to have intercourse ever again. But now she did. And it all worked out. But talk about scared. Thank you. Dr. I enjoy your videos. Very informative Thank you for all that you do. God bless you,
The knock at the door turned out to be a dog from next door. What a scare
THESE VIDEOS ARE NOT JUST FOR WOMEN, I think it is a good idea for both men and women to have a healthy understanding on what is going on, sure most of her videos are geared towards women but i have found them helpful and educational. if only to send as a link to a friend who was worried
Agreed. I had an ex gf that had that that lactobacillus problem and we didn't know what was causing it. Assuming it was a yeast infection, like even this doctor did. Knowing what I know now, could have helped treat the problem correctly.
I'm with you. Good for men also as I want to know what I'm getting into.
I find its pretty balanced she talks about, sex vaginas and dicks, only thing is most of the knowledge about dicks is common but people don't want to talk about vaginas and all their mysterious glories shes enlightening everyone
Male here. Totally agree.
I love you Dr. Doe. You speak on subjects often overlooked or avoided. The manner with which you speak about these previously "taboo" or uncomfortable subjects just puts your audience in a safe and receptive state of mind. Accepting, honest, educated professionalism. You are outstanding at your job. Please continue to make your incredibly informative content!
Hi sexy
Ajay, I see you like grandmas. My 94 year old aunt is available
I also feel like this is important to note, from someone who had cysts so severe they ahd to have an ovary removed: If your doctor says you have a cyst, and tells you that cysts don't hurt when you complain about pain GET A NEW DOCTOR. I cannot stress this enough. If you have reproductive pain and your OB/GYN is not taking you seriously, do NOT think that you need to toughen up. I've found this mostly happened with my male OB/GYNs but there are some women who think cysts are not supposed to hurt. Certainly there are some that don't, some that only hurt a little, and some that hospitalize you. But no one should be discounting the pain you have, especially not a medical provider.
I just reread this and realized my comment about male OB/GYNs could be taken the wrong way. I don't mean to say that all men are like this, or that you shouldn't have a male as your doctor. It was just my observation that I was being told what would and would not cause pain in my reproductive organs by someone who didn't have them, which was very frustrating
sounds like a crappy doctor. I'll add something to your comment by talking about what a good doctor can be like:
I'm happy with my current male GYN since he scolds me about not coming regularly enough or forgetting to take my continuous pill (even if it takes more than 3 days of not taking it for it to stop working - FOR ME - which I've never done). I was so happy about it that I couldn't talk back to him which is my normal behavior and I could have added that I haven't had sex for far too long and I don't get many chances nowadays. I just knew that he was right and after that he did the usual examination and talked to me about a cheaper alternative to my current pill^^ he also always asks if I have any questions before I leave.
(if anyone has read this far, guess my age xD)

I can't believe there is actually a name to what happened to me in my relationship a year ago(dyspareunia). I started to think I was just broken or something, turns out nope - the guy was just REALLY not the one for me. And my body knew it waaay before I did or would admit it to myself...
I forget that you folks have to pay to visit the emergency room. That's fucked.
+Elizabeth D we pay more through taxes for healthcare than countries that get it for free. and we still have to pay out of pocket and it's not the best the world has to offer. not sure what's so funny about that.
I prefer to pay a bit more taxes than taking 1000$ off of my pockets when I need to see a doc for something that can be quickly cured/identified.
Yeah. My insurance is over $1100 a month and every appointment still costs me $20-$150. But we’re ‘the greatest country on Earth’...
Interesting that this post has risen to the top of the heap. I guess that's fuked .
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney Yes, because there are very few countries where you can earn enough to afford to pay $1100 a month. You are obviously more wealthy than 99.9% of the people on earth. Being thankful is much more healthy than complaining.
i love that you threw the psychological pain in there - i used to be confused about why i would get so nauseous whenever i started doing sexual things with a certain person, and it was only until i ended things with that person that i realized how much i disliked/was morally repulsed by that person. kind of off-topic. but yeah great video!
This is a new one for me. If a woman is so repulsed why even go there. Just common sense. It's easier for a man. If he's not into a woman, his penis won't cooperate.
@@fivestring65ify a true statement spoken in your comment.
My penis has decided that it simply didn't wish to fowl itself by penetrating an unhealthy vagina on more than one occasion. Not often but it happens with out a conscious decision and I think it was wise for doing so.
This happened to me and consciously I had full intention to have intercourse with those women who were unhealthy o
Real stories are so useful and interesting! I often find that a story like that helps me remember the information, and they can be so relatable. My biggest mystery was what I thought was a UTI (all the same symptoms) which I got on and off for more than a year and more than once caused me to go home early from school because I was so uncomfortable. While on tumblr I read a post about the scent in Always pads causing irritations, and realised that the year I'd had this, I'd switched to Always pads. I switched back to some unscented ones and the symptoms stopped. I now avoid them whenever possible. Thanks for sharing your stories! :)

Hi sexy
Also, if you have PCOS and your doctor is like "oh that's nothing unusual, let's just put you on the pill..." Change your doctor. He is neither taking you seriously nor treating the cause.
My gf just got diagnosed with this :/ her doctor said to start with weight loss and to continue her chiropracter, possibly go to a physical therapy place.
Your comment makes me wonder, what do you actually do? What's considered "right" for something that is incurable?
+Scheefinator there are many different ways to treat the symptoms of PCOD but you are right about not being able to cure it. There are lots of lifestyle changes that can help like diet and exercise but I'd also recommend investigating a drug called Metformin. Speak to the doctor about it of course but it helps to be informed about the condition because GPs can't be experts in everything. It can be a tricky medication to take so it helps to be informed.
Kristen Maus
What does that do?
+Scheefinator People who have PCOS often have insulin resistance as part of their symptoms. Metformin can help treat the insulin resistance, which can make weight management easier.
oh.. I think I have PCOS.. I should really have this checked out I guess
Thank you for this!! The phrase "stay curious" has helped me so much on my journey of bodily self-discovery & health maintenance!
Thank you so much for sharing your own personal stories! It's uplifting to hear you talk about sexual problems you've had so openly and without shame
I honestly love your explanations and how friendly and open you are about what seems to be taboo at times. I thank you for that!
If you don't mind me asking the obvious question: how on earth does a guy not notice that there is no longer a condom on his wang when he puts his clothes back on? In all of the condom vanished and nobody noticed that it was missing even afterwards stories I've heard, this detail bugs me.
+
Most likely: He was feeling kinda bummed that she wasn't into him and just wanted to leave as quickly and quietly as possible. Didn't notice the condom thing until later, if he ever did at all.
I'd hope it's this, the other option he noticed and is an asshole and didn't say on purpose, or he noticed but felt anxious about saying anything
Alcohol maybe?
***** well she seems to be not the biggest fan of alcohol before sex now. but the story was in the past so maybe!
The last one happened to me almost a year ago! I'm so happy to hear it wasn't just me, I'd never had a yeast infection and when it came back negative I was so confused. Really glad I now have this information :) Thank you for all the great work you do
Use condom baby
It´s so brave of you to talk so openly about your experiences, thanks very much for sharing this!
It's so sad that it's considered brave and not just normal
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a video as informative as this in my entire life. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for this and your other videos. You are so open, knowledgeable, calm, and straightforward. You are amazing, and inspire me to want and do more in the health care field as both a provider and a patient.
This is a great video, because it demonstrates how staying calm and getting help can solve problems. Ultimately we'd always run into new problems we haven't heard about before, so learning to "trouble shoot" our own bodies is important. Thank you!
I love that you share personal stories trying to demystify and normalise these sorts of problems.
I am having severe problems at the moment. I have intense abdominal pain in the approximate area of my uterus, but the doctors don't know what's wrong. The pain is so bad I frequently pass out and am on really strong painkillers which barely help at all. I had an ultrasound a number of years ago (and they lost my scans) where they determined I had ovarian cysts but didn't want to name it as PCOS because I showed little of the hormone changes expected. Last year I had a laparoscopy where they discovered scar tissue, tested negative for endometriosis. I've had a general bloodwork done with no results, I've tried gastro-related medication, I've tried metformin, everything either does nothing or makes it worse. I've got no idea what to do, I can't study, I can't work, I can't live on my own. Is there any advice you could give me on which directions to look or how to cope with it?
If you can't, that's okay. I love your channel and you do such great work. I hope things continue to go well for you and that all the comments from people aren't too exhausting and mentally draining. I have a great admiration for the work you do and how you help so many people. - Jen
If you have an uncircumcised partner, and HE is on antibiotics for something, YOU can get a yeast infection. Yep. Learned that the hard way.
Ok, care to explain why the circumcision makes any difference?
+lloydgush The foreskin can trap the yeast and it multiplies very quickly. My husband and I don't use condoms... and that happened
+Dictator In Perpetuity actually it does mean that they are more prone to getting a yeast infection. My husband is uncircumcised and he has had issues with yeast infections in the past because he has diabetes. There's nothing to do with hygiene in this case. It has to do with the fact that the foreskin area is more like a vagina and it has more capability of holding on to the east. we met with our doctor about it in the past when my husband had yeast infections because of the diabetes being undiagnosed so it is very easy to have your partner get a yeast infection as well just because of the extra least hanging out. My husband is actually on a very strong antibiotic because of a dialysis related issue. And he does take an antifungal liquid 3 times a day to prevent him getting an actual yeast infection, but he still has a larger biological community of yeast because of the foreskin area.
Are you an OBGYN, sir?
Additionally-- the urethra has nothing to do with a yeast infection. You're thinking of a(n) UTI.
I rewatch this every so often to get a refresher. such a good resource.
thank you for sharing all of your stories with us. It makes these things a lot less horrifying when we know that a professional like yourself has dealt with them too!:)
I LOVED this! The education you provide is a profoundly wonderful gift
you are a wonderful person.

Thankyou so much for 2:25-3:17!
I had exactly the same experience in my past, and if anyone else can avoid years of painful sex due to your explanation, which is so different to what I ever heard from a doctor, that would be really amazing!
I love you Dr Doe. What you do i SO important! Omg, I'm crying of happiness
but it's okay to eat olives, right?
I blame the olives!!! 😂
Yeah I was waiting for the olives to be relevant in that story.
Majoofi olives are heresy.
What did you not understand....
Olives obviously cause cysts 🤔🙄
😂🤣😂🤣
Always the best informative talks, love your sexplanations
You are fantastic. The best in this field of information. Informative, Funny, and factual !! Thank you.
It would be great if you could do a video about ovarian cysts and Bartholin cysts too! Really made me feel down and bad about myself not to mention all of the physical pain.
Bartholin cysts!!! I had one and felt like a damn freak until I found it on the Internet. It came back a few times too
Brandy Nicole Easter YESYESYES THESE WERE SO PAINFUL AND IT SUCKED WAITING FOR INFO
I had that exact experience with dysparunia!! I didn't know what it was called till now but yup that was it for sure. Thank you thank you :) these videos are always helpful.
New subscriber here, love the subject matter and format! The vagina needs more airtime, thank you 💞

Doc Doe, I don't know why, but there's something in me that makes me want to hold you in my arms and tell you I like you a lot. You seem to be such a nice person. And your videos are great. Keep up the great work.
Oh, where would life be without sexplanations
Hello! Thanks for the great videos,Lindsey.
Any book recommendations about dyspareunia and phobias related to intercource?Or usefull links, maybe?
It would be amazing if you did a video on Endometriosis, as someone with the disease it frustrates me that 1 in 10 women have Endo yet no one hardly knows anything about it. Especially doctors!
Yes! I also have endo and had my first surgery at 17. Please, please do a video on it!!

Your delivery is hilarious, thanks for sharing your private stories.
As a men learning those complications seems daunting, like the menstrual cycle isn't enough already.
So honest and open great video!
I found this video incredibly interesting, thank you for sharing :)
I love Dr Doe, keepin' it real.
OMG this is one of the most interesting and educational video I have ever watched, thank you for doing this, I really like your channel but this is the best I have seen! I hope you do more videos about vaginas mysteries because, as you mentioned, its not something as explored when we talk about human sexuallity. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this! it helped bot practically and emotionally! its good not to feel alone
Thank you so much, these are very helpful!
I am so happy you brought up Lactobacillus!
OH MY GOD THANK GOD LOL I have the same discharge! I thought it was a yeast infection for the longest time so i just kept using creams and antibiotics. Tests came out normal for me, too, so I had no idea why it was still persisting. Thank you, Dr. Doe ^^ i feel a bit better about it now
Yeah the same thing happened to me and I was always so confused and worried that something was wrong with me ugh this makes me feel so much better
I know this was years ago but I found this cool university article on the "mean stuff," hoping this helps relieve stress in others the way it helped me health.students.vcu.edu/media/student-affairs-sites/ushs/docs/CytolyticVaginosis.pdf
Thank you so much for this channel and this video in particular. It makes understanding my body a far less daunting task.
Recently I also felt that strange pain (like the torches) while trying to fantasize about sex with a male, specifically VP sex. Never when with females, and the strange pain has continued to happen. I think that this may be the "last straw" for questioning. I guess I'm gay.
thank you! you just answered one of the biggest mysteries about my body I've struggled with! keep bringing the awesome and I'll #staycurious
Condom use
You just made my decade! "The mean stuff"... it only happens occasionally and my providers have been as baffled as my husband and I! Thank you for the lactobacillus revelation! BTW we call it frosting. As in "your cupcake is full of frosting." It helps take some of the embarrassment away when the mean stuff appears.
So how do you treat the lactobacillus of doom?
These was amazing! Thank you
Your videos are great.. Thank you..
I've never heard of any of this before; thanks!
Thanks for the video, I was wondering if you were still doing the video blog on youtube.
I’m mad late with replying, but I learn so much about sex and body health from your channel, so thank you. Some I never knew, some I needed to unlearn and re-learn. Growing up, sex education was confined to what felt like only the textbooks and their words verbatim, which just explained the basic process of just making babies.
We had one sex ed teacher who did talk more about the experience of sex and some of the responsibilities that came with it, but she used a lot of examples that didn’t resonate and sort of made me uncomfortable. Like an elder from the early 1900’s giving me the traditional lay down of how sex was.
Our schools also used HIV as a scare tactic, not emphasizing condoms and just promoting abstinence.
Some speakers who were Long-term HIV survivors were real as hell with their approaches. They knew how to relate with us because they were open about their mistakes, and pointed out the half-assed ways sex ed is taught in schools.
after this video i feel like i have so much to learn
"Frustrating and EXPENSIVE trips to the emergency room" ... :( I feel so bad for Americans.
lyadmilo yah. Too bad wherever you live has no emergency rooms
@@TheLinposterIsSus Pretty sure they are referring to Americans having to pay out of pocket for all medical appointments and emergencies or have expensive insurance that may or may not cover it, unlike every other industrialized nation that provides essential healthcare to their citizens and residents.
I've been to the emergency room a couple of times. It was totally covered by insurance. Unfortunately insurance is far from cheap. Long before "obamacare", when I didn't have insurance from my employers, I was lucky not to need it, and that saved me at least hundreds if not thousands each year. Then "obamacare" came along with it's "mandate" that EVERYBODY had to have insurance or pay a super stiff penalty, I was lucky to have it from my employer.
IJ Surname It's easy to pay for social programs when you know your defense is covered by the USA.
@@nicksincredibleopinion Defence from whom, exactly? Middle East countries, that buy hand me down weapons from the US?
Oh my gosh. I know this video is almost 2 years old but I just learned so much. I'm going through the last situation you mentioned, with the "mean stuff." I thought I had a yeast infection but it wasn't as bad as the times I've had it before, and it seemed to just be occasional throughout the day. Maybe it's a lactobacillus buildup like you said. And like you said, I thought it might be an infection so I have been taking additional probiotics in addition to my normal daily ones. What do you do to stop the mean stuff, then? I take probiotics because I'm prone to yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis, so should I take one that doesn't have lactobacillus in it?
Thank you for being such a super awesome person. I learn so much from your videos!
Great info. Thnx for sharing. 😉😊
Listen to your body, such great advice yet so simple. Love your vids, wish we had them 45 years ago.
i feel a little sad just because of the half sentence "... frustrating and expensive trips to the emergnecy room." trips to the emergency room should never be expensive. they should be free for everyone, always.
agreed. and if they weren't frustrating, that would be nice, too
frustrating - oh like, going in at 4 am and having to wait till almost 7 am before a doctor looks at a patient that could have a fractured rib...
Well... I don't mean to sound rude, but three hours of waiting in stable conditions doesn't sound that awful. A broken rib is not really that urgent anyway, the doctor is just gonna say "yep, broken" and tell you to wait a few months.
sonny19931 a broken rib can puncture the lungs or other organs. does the person have to collapse ore spit blood before someone treats them.
Of course not, they should treat it in a reasonable amount of time. Depending on where you live, three hours is a pretty reasonable amount of time to wait.
I'm not saying it's pleasant to wait for three hours with a possibly broken rib, but in the grand scheme of things there are a ton of other emergencies than need quicker attention.
Dr Doe - I've been wondering abut lactobacillus for such a long time - you're a life saver!! Do you have any tips for reducing it, or do you just wait it out?? Seriously, I would never have found that out if not for you!!
Omg these are amazing lessons!!!! Thank you!!!!
H
Dr. Doe is magnificent! Great Video ...how more people watch!
God bless you for telling me about lactobacillus
I learned that I have a large ovarian cyst from my doctor but this video actually made me a little less worried about it. Thank you!
Wonderful informative video. Still so much more to learn about the mystery of the vagina.
You're amazing!!! And so is this video!!!!
Really good viedeo! Thank for the sexplenation and keep up the good work. :D
Thank you so much! I should've watched this video 6 years ago!
I've had either a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis almost constantly for the last six years. I've changed medication, behavior, and have spoken to a number of doctors and specialists about it. Haven't found an answer yet :(
You are so very funny! I love listening to you! And you have taught me so very much! Thank you!
Those bloopers were amazing
Thanks for the videos. I am a man(59)and not a virgin but I have learned so much from watching your videos! Thanks for doing them. I wonder if you had trouble starting to do them because of how prudish America is?
Awesome tip(s). thanks.
dr doe, your sweater is pretty!!!
Very good video. A lot of good and needed information. Good girl, you got War And Peace in two pages of Cliff notes.
Really loved this video, even thought it became a little bit hard to catch up because I feel like you talked really fast :(
I recently had that exact same thing happen to me with an ovarian cyst. Oh my gosh, it was awful. I couldn't hardly walk anywhere and the car ride to Urgent Care was so bad.
It can be so frightening, both times it's happened to me I passed out. Luckily my mum has ovarian cysts too and was able to help me. The doctors refused to even examine me. Make sure if you start to feel overly hot/cold/weak/dizzy you get somewhere safe in case you faint. :)
really good videos thanks
Why am I just finding out about this stuff now? Thank you 😊
Thank you I have seen a doctor about the latter condition and even on my own I took over the counter medication and prescribed medications for yeast but everything was negative and I was loosing my mind trying to google online to no avail what it could be.
I’m binge watching her videos right now 😂
10 years ago this spring/summer (I was 17 and 18) I had really bad pains for about 5 months around my appendix area every night and sometimes into the next or next couple of days and nights; one night it was so bad I actually did think it was appendicitis but I didn’t go to the hospital. This continued until September (I saw my pediatrician and my GP about it), and then it suddenly disappeared for good, and hasn’t been back since. I never found out what it was, but I suspect it might have been an ovarian cyst that shrunk on its own.
this video is amazing! I am in general always super excited, whenever I see a new sexplanations video in my abobox (or get my partreon mail), but I really enjoyed this video even a little more than othes, not because of the information (which are also super interesting and even though I have been in any of these situations I feel like "if anything like this might happen to me I have another question I can ask ("maybe it is the thing Lindsey taught me about?")") but because for me it strikes the perfect balance between stories and information and it makes me more curious, because you had questions and asked them and things you didn't know and found out about them. I try very hard to not put you on a pedestal and I think this works most of the time, but sometimes I seem to think that ou know everything and this video shows in such a wonderful and kind and easy to listen to way to stay curious and... thank you. (sorry for the long sentences)
So that's why my yeast infection is not particularly ichy and doesn't go away with anti fungals. It's not a yeast infection. Damn!
I've found that in order to 'reset' my vaginal microbiome. Going a full period using just pads works well for me. I've read somewhere that the pH of the menstrual blood is good for resetting the vagina's health. Works for me. May not work for everyone.
On the other hand, using these small pads that are designed to catch every day vaginal discharge/pee leackage has proven very bad for my vagina. I always had a lot of discharge until I stopped using those. Now I just wear cotton underwear and everything's much better.
Yo we're opposites! I find that im prone to getting BV during or following my period cause it lowers my ph too much and kills to much of my lactobacillus! Opposite twinning!!!
omg same! the theory that the pH of the menstrual blood resetting the vagina's health makes sense for me since mine goes away whenever i have my period too
I REALLY hope you see this, Dr. Doe! I appreciate your videos; I wish I had access to a comprehensive, sex+, sex education program when I was A LOT younger. I may have a new topic for you.
Sex has been painful for me since making my sexual debut.
When I married at age 18, neither my ex or I knew what or wear a clit was. I didn't know until I was well into my 20s. I'll come back to that in a moment.
I had infertility problems. I was told everything was "normal", except I had a uterus about the size of a 12 y/o's and I needed to "relax" during penetration.
Problem is, no one really listened to me. I WAS relaxed. Labeled infertile, requiring fertility treatments on a Friday, I learned I was pregnant that Sunday.
My pregnancy was very painful. I was on bedrest for much of it. My uterus wasn't the size it should be, my baby was cramped for space, and my amniotic fluid was LOW. I went into pre-term labor; I had a preemie. Despite her head measuring in the 5th percentile for her gestational age, I had fourth degree lacerations.
I chose to have a tubal ligation. I was in a major accident when pregnant, suffering a TBI. Fertility issues including miscarriages. A preemie. And an abusive husband who threatened to kill me when I was 2 weeks pregnant and the night I learned of my pregnancy.
Upon having the TL it was learned:
My anatomy was far from normal. Suddenly everything made sense. Confirmed later after hysterectomy, I had what is known as a unicornuate uterus without a rudimentary horn, 1 fallopian tube, 1 ovary, and a small vagina. "Half a reproductive system", including half a normal sized vaginal opening and depth. That was another reason for my pain. My cervix was taking a beating. I had my cervix removed with the hysterectomy.
Other associated issues:
Small bladder.
May have a missing or deformed kidney.
Lesson: listen to your body, find a professional who will listen, don't stay in an abusive marriage, and, of course, stay curious.
P.S. Vaginas are stretchy. I need to get dilators (or as my daughter has recommended and your channel has shown me) or dildos to get myself to re-enter the dating world after a sexual experience that nearly landed me in the ER (I should have gone). I hadn't had sex in years, but I prepared per doctor's recommendation. Well...he was larger than I had planned for. By a lot. He was great about foreplay. We used lube, should have used more! It took 45 minutes for him to achieve penetration after foreplay. He got a bit rough. I didn't say no or try to stop him, so it was consensual!! He orgasmed very quickly. I have had 3 partners. This is a big problem. None of the 3 made it longer than 1 min 30 sec after penetration. Anyhow, I took a sitz bath. We were both injured. I was in agonizing pain for DAYS and hurt for quite some time after that. I could barely move or get out of bed. His penis peeled. I had warned him about this happening to 2/3. 1/3 was probably on the small side of average, if that. That would have been AMAZING, except for the premature ejaculation. The guy who was large and I decided our anatomies were incompatible. He swore he wasn't that big, but his penis was as large as the circumference of my wrist or quite close to it.
That scared me. It's been over 6 years since I've had sex. I really want to be with a woman. I am open to either. I was told I can dilate myself to accommodate most men, but I was told I will need to use dilators or have sex for 20 minutes a day.
Wellllll that was way too long. Hit send.
Well I've learned that having PCOS means I have no idea what's going on with my body a lot of the time and have to actively spend time listening to what's happening and decoding whether it's period related or something more serious. Very frustrating but you get used to it.
You didn't say what you do about lactobacillis overgrowth...please advise.
I get UTIs every time I have sex and it sucks, I've been to the gynecologist and apparently I'm doing everything I can to prevent them. Any advice??
So what do you do about the mean stuff? I think I might have that even though it doesn't act mean to me just kinda icky. Thought it might be bits of toiletpaper or something...
Lots of us get it, lots of us just refer to it as being 'creamy'. It tends to just be the part of the cycle for it and just caused by hormones.
Nothing. for christ sake don'y wash it inside.
Just increase lubrication with lube.
If you clean outside with water it isn't smelly and taste just like lubrication, but denser, stronger and coarser.
(it can be uncomfortable while licking, since it increases friction, but when that happens I just suck a drops meanwhile and the increased saliva is enough to prevent my thong and her parts to sore earlier. Also when this happens I notice things dry up much faster so I have to be careful not to breathe too much through my mouth, so leaving the nostrils free is a must.)
RebelWinterwolf It barely tastes of anything.
It's like porridge, and the consistency is of thick porridge.
And gosh, porridge is the definition of tasteless food.
+lloydgush everyone has a diffetent vaginal bacteria profile and therefore a different flavor. mine tastes pretty strong, more like bbq chip flavor than porridge.
No, seriously. People have different flavors. Mine is... gamey is the only adjetive I can think of that comes close. Maybe umami. This includes right after a shower, though the flavor is lessened.
As for the "creamy" stuff, I get it all the time. Most commonly a day or two after I masturbate without penetration or when I go a long time being somewhat horney. Mine has never hurt so far...
I had a vaginal mystery. I used to have periods for months at a time and then miss periods for months at a time. Every time I went to the doctor about them they'd just prescribe birth control pills to regulate them. Then I was finally diagnosed with PCOS. Its been a huge weight off my shoulders to know what was going on with my body. Since I've had a baby and lost some weight my cycles have been regular which is great.
How common is it for a vagina to "collapse" during external stimulation to the point where the cervix "surfaces"?
Marvelous and Fascinating!!!
That last lesson actually might have been very helpful.... I'll keep that one in mind for the future.
Ye
Dr Doe please I need to know please what do i need to do to cure the lactobacillious problem?
I really think you should write a book called "The Vagina Mysteries". You could collect a bunch of stories like yours, put the clues in, and then present them 2-minute mystery style. Answers would be printed upside down on the page, followed by a discussion
I don't get it. What do I do about lactobacillus?
